Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't worry if your caterpillar stops eating or becomes sluggish. Make sure the pupa is hanging above ground. Clean out the container and keep it humid. Wait for the pupa to turn dark or clear. Release the butterfly.

Answer: Don't worry too much if your caterpillar suddenly stops eating, becomes sluggish or starts to change color - it is probably just preparing to molt or pupate, so this is completely normal behavior. The caterpillar may also become more active then usual, moving around its container continuously. If this is the case, it is probably just looking for a good place to pupate. Unfortunately, these behaviors may also be signs that the caterpillar is sick, so you should refrain from handling it at this time. Just wait to see if it successfully pupates. If you are keeping multiple caterpillars and one of them dies, remove the dead caterpillar from the container immediately. This will prevent any disease from spreading. Once the caterpillar is ready it will pupate, thus beginning the process of turning into a moth or butterfly. Moth caterpillars will bury into the earth to make a cocoon, while butterfly caterpillars with enclose themselves in a chrysalis, hanging above ground. While the underground cocoons do not need any attention, you may need to move or re-hang the chrysalis if it is in an unsuitable location or of it falls from its original hanging spot. If you believe the chrysalis is in too tight a spot for the emerging butterfly to spread its wings, it may be best to move it. Handle the chrysalis very gently and hang it from a stick or attach it to the side of the container. You can do this by threading a piece of string through the pointy end of the chrysalis, or by sticking a small pin through it and hanging it from a suitable location. Once the pupa has formed, you should clean out the caterpillar container, removing any old food or waste. Even though the pupa is still alive, it does not require any food or water. Leave any sticks in the container when cleaning out. These will be necessary once the butterfly or moth emerges, as it will use the stick as a perch while it spreads its wings. If the butterfly or moth has nothing to perch on, its wings will not form properly and it will die. Also try to keep the container humid by checking it every few days. If the the container is too dry the pupa will dry out, but if it is too moist the pupa can go moldy. Both of these things can prevent the butterfly/moth from emerging. If the soil at the bottom of the container feels very dry, mist it with some water. If you see any condensation forming on the sides of the container, wipe it off. Consult a caterpillar/butterfly guide to find exact instructions regarding the optimum temperature and humidity for your species of pupa. Now all that's left to do is wait! Some butterflies and moths will emerge after as little as eight days, while others may take several months or even years. If you caught your caterpillar in the fall, chance are it will spend the winter months in its pupa and only emerge in the spring - this process is known as "overwintering". Some telltale signs that a butterfly is getting ready to emerge from its chrysalis are the chrysalis turning darker in color, or even becoming clear. Keep a close eye on the chrysalis from this point on, as butterflies can emerge from their pupa in a matter of seconds and you don't want to miss it! As moth cocoons are underground, you will not be able to observe any changes. If the chrysalis turns a very dark color, this may be an indication that the pupa is dead. Test it by gently bending the pupa around the abdominal region - if it stays bent this is a good indication that the pupa is dead. Once the butterfly or moth has magically emerged from its pupa, it will crawl up a stick and hang upside down until its wings dry out and unfold. This is a very important process and can take several hours. When the butterfly or moth begins to flutter its wings and starts flapping around the cage, it's time to release it. These creatures do not like to be confined and they can damage their wings if they are continually beating them against the sides of the container, trying to escape. Take the container outside, to the location where you originally found the caterpillar, open the lid and let your butterfly happily fly away.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Engage them in conversation unrelated to class. Drop hints. Pay attention to their signals. "Bump" into them outside of class. Make a move at the end of the semester.

Answer:
This technique works particularly well during office hours. If they seem friendly and not pressed for time, try talking about topics unrelated to class. Inquire about their hobbies and interests, ask for advice on an issue unrelated to school, or tell them about something you're passionate about. Ask them about their background and how they became a professor. By talking about subjects other than class, you can show them that you're more than simply their student. You're a three-dimensional person, just like them, and you can start to form a relationship like friends and hopefully more! Although you can try this technique before or after class, usually professors don't have much time to hang around and chat. Office hours also provide the luxury of privacy. Unless you summon up the courage to put yourself out there, you probably won't be able to set the stage for seduction. Put a little gift and a note on their desk. It doesn't have to be anything major maybe just a new pen or a baked good. In your note, write something beyond what a student would typically say to a professor, such as, "I was thinking of you and thought this would make you happy." It doesn't have to be a declaration of love or a raunchy offer, but just a little something to show that you see them as more than simply your professor. Try to think of something small that your professor really needs. Do they constantly borrow pens from students? Get them one. Are they usually tired in class? Offer them a coffee. Do they complain about not having enough time to eat? Bring them a home-made muffin. This way, you can keep the note playful and light. If they ask you about the gift, or even try to give it back to you, don't shy away. Tell them that you really like them, and you want them to have it. Observe how your professor interacts with you versus other students. Do they give you a lot of eye contact? Are they friendly and receptive to your attempts at conversation? Do they treat you differently than other students? If they don't seem interested, don't push them. This may or may not be possible, but it is a great thing to do if you can manage it. Try to find out where they spend time on the weekends or after class. If they mentioned being a regular at a certain coffee shop near campus, do your studying there. If they brought up that their favorite musician was playing a gig that weekend, get tickets. If you're committed to seducing them, go the extra mile to see them outside the classroom walls. Not only will this give you more time with them and another opportunity to prove you're more than just a student, it will also show them that you have similar interests and hobbies. Don't be a stalker! If you 'accidentally' bump into your professor at a concert, you can ask them if they are going to the next one/another concert of a similar band. If they eat lunch at the same place every day, ask them if you can sit with them. Make an appointment to talk with them after final grades have been submitted. Ask for their advice about a class next semester or admission to professional school. Try to steer the conversation towards other topics as well. If they seem receptive and you are feeling brave, casually ask them to coffee. Don't make a move before the semester has ended. Most professors will not date you before the course has ended because of ethical and professional conflict.
