I can't speak to Boston, but I assume it's fairly similar to
Connecticut. (Right?)

Kids study butterflies + insects as a classic example of life cycles,
usually in grades 1 or 2. (1 for insects, 2 for amphibians is more
common here.) Massachusetts covers adaptations and variation in grade 4,
which seems like it would be a good area to cover things like mimicry.
Here in CT, evolution/natural selection comes along more in middle
school grades (6-8).

Anyone have a sense of what grade levels would be taught content on
butterflies/insects, mimicry, evolution/natural selection in the Boston
area?
