We finally have some butterflies! Nine to be exact!

Butterfly and chrysalis

Today I moved 20 chrysalises to their butterfly house. I will move the other 19 tomorrow.

On Friday, I was able to watch a chrysalis forming. I was able to catch a bit of it on a time lapse video.

Moving day

We have our first chrysalis. We started the day with one caterpillar hanging in it’s “J” shape which means that it will soon be a chrysalis. How many chrysalises will we have tomorrow?

First Chrysalis

I thought for sure that I would come to school this morning and find lots of chrysalides. But, to my surprise we still have caterpillars. They have gotten so much bigger.
