Butterfly Project

Our butterflies emerged from their chrysalis' this week. Two emerged on Thursday and two on Friday. Lily had to help the first one get onto his feet as his chrysalis was not hanging and he couldn't stand up. It was so exciting to watch the miracle of larvae grow into fat catipillars who became pupa and then finally a beautiful butterfly.
We are currently keeping the butterflies in a mesh bag with greenery, flowers and q-tips of sugar water. The weather has been on the cold side so we will delay releasing them until it warms up.
