Shannon looks over her shoulder and furrows her brow. I hope Nadia is ok, she thinks as she turns back to the tall grass she has been examining. She spots a small thin trail in the dirt, with a pattern that looks like it could have been made by an inchworm or a caterpillar. She draws the markings in her notes and continues looking, following the trail a short way. Out of the corner of her eye, and at the end of the trail she was following, she spots a cocoon. It gives a jerk and cracks open, and a butterfly emerges. It has beautiful blue and green wings, and a purple body. She draws the cocoon and butterfly at the end of the trail in her notes. "Wow, I've never seen that before!" she says out loud.
