A moth is similar to a butterfly. They both have a hairy body, wings and antennae. Moths can be seen more at night.
Moths are often blamed for holes in fabrics and sweaters, but it is their larvae who are the actual culprits. The caterpillars eat through materials, such as silk, cashmere and wool, because they contain the fibrous protein, keratin. During this Invitation to Create, the children explored creating holes like moth caterpillars. By experimenting with tools and their own hands the children discovered different ways to create holes, then decided what to do with them. The end results of this process are distinctly different and show the children's creative thinking.
