~Mali is 4 years 10 months~
Since we are learning about earthworms, and earthworms live underground, I thought we should study about what else lived underground for the letter U. We also learned a little more about habitat and explored the microhabitat of life underground and under a stone. We read the book, Life Under A Stone, by Janet Halfmann. This book examines the nature and behavior of the many small creatures that live in dark, cool dampness under stones, from millipedes to earthworms.
A few critters that live under a stone:
- The wood louse (roly poly)
- Millipedes
- Centipedes
- Earthworms
- Ants
- Jumping Bristle Tail
- Stone Fly (under stones in rivers)
Or under an old rotting log like this one I found this summer.
