Match The Butterfly To Its Larval Food

An investigation of how plants provide food for caterpillars. This is not necessarily the same plant whose flowers provide nectar for the adult butterfly.

At centre screen are eight common butterflies or moths and below are eight plants. You have to draq and drop each butterfly onto the plant where it will lay its eggs and on which its caterpillars will feed. Get it right and the butterfly stays there, get it wrong and it flies back. You get ten points for each correct placing and lose five points for a wrong placing.

The game ends when all the butterflies are happily laying their eggs on the right plant. You end the game if you can manage to click on the Gatekeeper Butterfly or otherwise from the usual close buttons on the page or toolbar.

The page has the following buttons at top:

• Index Button
  (Left pointing hand symbol) Takes you to the interactive exercise Index page. This will end the exercise and lose any butterfly placings so far.
• Close Button
  (Cross symbol) Closes interactive exercises and returns you to the main Animals UK form previously open. This will end the exercise and lose any butterfly placings so far.
• Help Button
  (Question mark symbol) Gives you help text similar to this.
• Information Button
  (Book symbol) Brief information on each butterfly to help you.
