Fly my beauties

Today, my first graders released the butterflies we've been raising. The kids were sad that one had died in his cocoon and wouldn't be set free. Turns out that butterfly may have had a better fate: a flock of birds ate half of the others. Immediately after releasing them. In front of the kids. FML

So they learn about life and death...killing two birds with one stone. Or two butterflies with one bird. Take your pick.

#4/5: You are aware that there a lots of different kinds of birds, right? With different diets? There aren't really enough worms in the world to sustain the entire avian population. Plenty of birds are insectivores. And, at least the kids learned about 'the circle of life'? I would have been pretty upset if a bird ate my butterfly though :(

#10, stop trolling the FMLs to try and find something false. Seriously, do you have nothing better to do?

"And next week, kids, we will study how birds are closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex."

It's only called a cocoon for moths. For butterflies, it's a chrysalis. [/irrelevant]

That sucks, but I hope you at least checked to make sure you weren't surrounded by hungry birds, and just got ambushed.
