Clamming in The Boat We Built

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Essex Shipbuilding Museum took a group of students, from Topsfield Vocational Academy,  that built the clamming skiff on a  trip last Friday.  They left from Conomo Point and rowed the clam skiff, with two of the museums fleet of Sharptown barges to two clam flats (Seal Bank and Town Nub), where the students learned how to clam with a fork and by hand. Their teacher Mark Webster and professional clammer and project partner Ian MacDougall, of Hermit Crab Industries, showed the students how to harvest the clams.  When they had dug enough clams (soft-shell and razor), they had a clambake on the flats followed by a row back to Conomo Point. A great way to end a tremendous project, they built the boat and then put it to work.

THE SCARY “EYES” OF A BUTTERFLY

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The colorful concentric and contrasting circles, or eyespots, that we see on butterfly and moth wings function in two ways as defense against predators.

The first theory is that the false eyes evolved as a way to intimidate a predator by mimicking the eyes of a snake or mammal. The attacker thinks they are facing a large dangerous animal. The wings that have the most glistening eyespot centers are found to be the most effective in deterring predators.

A second use for the eyespots may be to draw attention away from the main body parts, the head, thorax, and abdomen. If the predator takes a snip out of the butterfly’s colorful wing, the butterfly is more likely to survive than if its head is attacked.

Eyespots don’t just appear on butterflies–fish, reptiles, birds, and many other species of insects have developed false eyes.
