Butterflies!

Well, they came and now are almost gone! I forgot to have RyLee write down when they came and turned to a chrysalis. But I think we have had them a few weeks now.... Here are a few pictures.

Look close at the pictures and tell me if you see something/someone else?? *Ü*










We always have fun with these kits! Its been a little cold, so we are going to order some new larva next month! We will study them a little more too. So far she has read discover magazine moths and butterflies and a few little blurbs online. Ry is enjoying them though. Thats the best part!

That is so neat! We have painted lady caterpillars right now to but they haven't gone into their chrysalis just yet :) Can't wait!

Thanks! We are enjoying them... When they arrived, they were only in caterpillar stage for a few days before they went to pupae... Rylee was a little disappointed not to observe a little longer. We had some real warm weather when they came, so we are thinking that might be why they changed so fast.

They love oranges! *Ü*

Thanks for posting!

Oh, I can't wait to start our butterfly garden that we ordered. I know your children really enjoyed watching the transformations.
