Observing Butterflies

We finally got around to ordering our butterfly caterpillars...a fun journey learning about Life Cycles.

Our tiny caterpillars arrived with their food..some barely out of the egg. 
 They double in size everyday!
 All ready to go inside...

 The molten skin...uck! Those little circles, yeah, that's poop! >>a ton of poop!
 Time to hang them in the enclosure...
 New home...
Our first little guy...
 We made nectar dropped on the flowers and fresh fruit..
 Flying around and enjoying their new habitat...
 A little peek at the beauty!

 The empty chrysalis..
Looking at butterfly wings, legs, and antenna under a microscope.
 We also read some great Usborne books!!!
I love Usbourne Books!!! I had a party recently and you can still order till July 4th online at https://f5935.myubam.com/320070 Thanks for reading!
