When I left school on Friday we had 10 butterflies. Today we have 37 butterflies and one chrysalis.

We had our first butterfly emerge today from the chrysalis. We will see what tomorrow brings for us. 

We do have one more post before we see butterflies. It was moving day for the chrysalises. I moved them from the cups to the butterfly houses. The butterfly houses are now sitting in front of my desk where I can watch them – as if I need a distraction from getting my work done 🙂

This will be the last caterpillar post until we have butterflies. Most of the caterpillars have made their chrysalises. We have three caterpillars still eating and growing.

We started Day 12 with 13 caterpillars in their “J” shape. We are ending the day with three chrysalises and 12 caterpillars hanging in their “J”.

The students came to my office to view what is happening. We should be seeing butterflies by the end of next week.

This picture gives a good view of each stage of the caterpillars that we currently have at school.
