We had so much fun watching caterpillars form their chrysalides and then become butterflies. The process took about three weeks. Charlie and I were fortunate to get to watch a butterfly come out of its chrysalis. It was fascinating. All five of them seemed to come out around 9 am in the morning. One would come out each day for five days. We took them down to Lewiston on Friday and let them go in Kiwanis Park. They flew right up to the blossoms on the tree. I would recommend this for anyone with kids. It was fun to watch the whole process.
This is how they came. The caterpillars stayed in this cup for about 11 days and then we moved them to the butterfly garden after they formed their chrysalides.
Here they are in their chrysalides.
Here we go!
Opening up the butterfly garden to get the butterfly's out.
The boys and their friends all had fun holding the butterfly's and letting them fly off of their fingers.
Tamra captured a great picture of the butterfly after it landed on a blossom. Thanks Tamra!
