6.6.2013 Butterflies and their food plants

The cards show different butterflies, and other cards of their food plants are spread around in the surrounding. A bucket of water is "the nectar source" and some dried seeds are the eggs to be laid on the food plant card. Maybe you can find real plants for example nettles for the  Small Tortoiseshell (right? nässelfjäril). Small plastic containers with small holes hold the "nectar" (some water). The participiants take a card, seed and container and try to find the right food plant. They can come back and refill the container with new water, but if they run out of water - they die.When they have found the food source and deposited their egg (the seed) they can come back.
Later in the game weed-killer is introduced and destroys the food plant =  habitat loss.
Endangered species cards are added - but there´s no food plant cards for these species! = habitat loss

WHY are we doing this?
* Biodiversity, Inter-relationships, Community, Cycles, Human impact on ecosystems

Thank you Peter for this!
