Stick bugs don't naturally belong in Manitoba, but we can have them as pets.
They can cause damage to trees and plants if they get outside.
We will be very careful with our stick bug friends!
We made pictures and wrotes sentences about our observations and discoveries about stick bugs.
We are becoming stick bug experts!!!!
Wow! I can't believe what incredible researchers and scientists you are already...and you're only in Kindergarten!! I am so impressed and I learned so much about stick bugs from your research and observations. Thomas mentioned that you think their toes might be sticky...I will have to check this out on my next visit! I didn't know that stick bugs are not in Manitoba naturally and that they would harm the trees and plants in our environment if they got out. I wonder why? I think I need to come and learn more about these amazing creatures from all of you experts!! Thanks for sharing your learning with us in your post. Your pictures are absolutely amazing!!!
