The Question: Does cold or warm temperatures affect how a caterpillar grows?
The Experiment:
Record the date your caterpillars arrive.
Place 3 cups with caterpillars and food in them in a warm area of the room, like a high shelf.
Place 3 other cups with caterpillars and food in them in a cooler place in the room, like near the floor.
Measure the temperatures at each location daily and record them. There should be 2 to 3 degrees in difference between the 2 spots for best results.
Record the date the caterpillars in each area becomes a chrysalis.
Did the caterpillars grow at the same rate in both places? Which place did they grow fastest? Why would a caterpillar grow best at this temperature?
The Facts: A caterpillar’s growth is related to the environment temperature. Insects like caterpillars are cold-blooded, so their body is the same temperature as the environment. Because of this they are more active during warmer times of the year. Since the plants caterpillars use for food also grow during the warmer times of the year, warm temperatures are also best for the caterpillar. If the caterpillars started to grow before the plants did, it would be bad for the caterpillar! If there is a 2 to 3 degree difference in the 2 spots you placed the cups, the cooler caterpillars may be 3 to 8 days behind in growth compared to the warm area ones.
