WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!  There were 25 butterflies this morning when I arrived at school at 8 AM.  When I counted the butterflies at 11 AM there were 32.  We still have 12 chrysalises hanging around inside the butterfly houses.  I took a butterfly house into each class today so that the children could get a good look at all of the butterflies.  I was even able to take a picture of a butterfly shortly after it emerged from the chrysalis.

What a surprise this morning for us!  When I came to school today, we did not have any butterflies, but when I looked a little later there was a butterfly in each butterfly house.  I never seem to look at just the right time to see the butterfly emerge from the chrysalis.

I was able to move the chrysalises from the containers into the butterfly houses.  Not much will happen for a few more days as we wait.

Oops, I left the office yesterday without posting a picture of the caterpillars/chrysalises.  At this point we have three caterpillars still crawling around the containers.  The rest have made their chrysalises.  I took this picture this morning to combine days 14 and 15 since not much will change for a few days.

When I arrived at school this morning, most of the caterpillars had already made their chrysalises.  There are a few hanging in the “J” shape.  This happens right before the chrysalis forms.  A handful of caterpillars are still moving in their containers.
