Butterfly House

Our 4th child, Joseph, loves hands on science experiments.  The last couple of weeks, we raised butterflies.

Caterpillars, thinking about becoming chrysalli (chrysalises? )


 
Hanging chrysalises

 
They've hatched!  We fed them mandarin orange slices.  There is a story THERE.  Sarah was outraged when I took some slices to the caterpillars, and indignantly strode off with the glass bowl holding the rest of them. Which she then dropped. And the bowl smashed.  Into a million pieces.  Sigh.
 

 
Releasing them...
