of the Red Admiral Butterfly
DIET
(SAMPLE SLIDE)
Leaking sap from trees
Bird droppings
Flowers only when necessary.
The red admiral butterfly will feed from only a
few sources. It will suck the sap dripping from
trees. This butterfly has also been known to
feed on birds droppings as part of their main
diet. However, only the caterpillar of this
butterfly really feeds on plants and flowers. If
faced with a lack of food, then the red admiral
butterfly will feed on plants such as alfalfa,
milkweed, and red clover.

YOUR MISSION

• Begin creating a Power Point presentation of a
  North American woodland creature.
• Research it and use the information IN YOUR OWN
  WORDS to make the following slides
• 1. An introductory slide. Give the specific
  name of your creature, as well as your names.
  Then leave us with a teaser to get us
  interested in your creature!
• 2. A slide on the geography and habitat of
  your creature. Geography means Where can it
  be found in the United States? Habitat means
  Does it build a nest? Does it burrow?
  Basically where does it sleep at night (or
  during the day, for that matter!)
• 3. A final slide of interesting other facts
  about your creature. Does it have strange
  habits? Does it have enemies we would not have
  thought of? What makes your creature unique?
  What sounds does it make? What does it do when
  it becomes distressed?
