We have known all year until now that our class male leaf insect would only live for approximately six months. I had prepared the children for that fact since Ms Hanks first gave the male and female to us.
Sadly he died during our last week of Term 2. I showed him to the students and we were all a little sad about it.
Our female leaf insect is still laying eggs daily - we have sooo... many eggs but the challenge will be to get any of them to hatch. This could take all the rest of this year and even longer. And it may take a lot of luck too I think!
So it's goodbye to our male leaf insect - we have enjoyed watching him for so long.
