We finally have some butterflies.

There was one when I came to school this morning and we now have four.

It’s moving day for the chrysalises. We are still waiting for five caterpillars to form their chrysalis.

We are now on the watch for our first butterfly, maybe by the end of next week.

We have five caterpillars hanging in their “J” shape.

This lets us know that they will soon be forming their chrysalis.

The caterpillars can be such different sizes even though we got them on the same day.

This is day 6 for our caterpillars. They did a lot of growing over the weekend.

The caterpillars have arrived (Wednesday, 4/15). We will watch them eat and grow, eat some more and grow some more over the next week. They are so tiny now but will get bigger each day.
