Butterflies




We have been so excited watching the caterpillars on our swan plant. We have seen amazing things!! We saw caterpillars getting fatter from eating the leaves, then hanging up side down and making a pupa. We watched the pupa change colour from green to black. After about 9 days we watched a butterfly emerge from the shell and flap its wet wings so they would dry. When the butterfly had dried its wings we released it outside to fly away!
