Requirement
3. Life cycles
Required
Two parts: a comparison, and an insect raised from larva to adult.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Two parts depend on living insects and cannot be hurried: raising one from its larval stage to its adult stage (3(b)), and observing 20 live species in their habitat (4(b)). Start both early, and start the scrapbook for 4(c) as you observe.
