FROM CATAPILLARS 2 BUTTERFLIES

We had soooo much fun raising our catapillars and watching them day in and day out turn into butterflies. I bought a butterfly treehouse and I sent out for the catapillars. They came in this lil jar. Not to long after they crawled to the top of the lid and hung themselves there in a cacoon, so cool! There were 5 in all.

Here they are ready to be moved to the butterfly treehouse.

Pinned them to the side of the meshing.

Left behind- He wasn't hanging on to the white paper.

Our first butterfly

Still waiting for these lil guys! To feed the butterflies we added these carnations and sprinkled sugar water on them so they can feed. Was so neat to watch them eat from them!

Still waiting!

We have named all the butterflies, salt, pepper, coco, cinnamon, and sugar! Sugar was our wild one!

Their tongues are like straws. See the one butterflies tongue?

The kids really enjoyed getting to put thier hands in with the butterflies!

Letting them go!

Making sure there are no butterflies in there! We will definitly be doing this again next Spring!! We absolutly loved it!!
