The catepillars(10 in all) came in 2 jars equipped with all the food they needed to grow. Bryan actually heard them eating! |
When we got them, they were barely 1/2 an inch in size. Before they cocooned themselves, they had grown to atleast 2 inches. It was amazing. We could tell a difference in their sizes each day. |
Here they are in their chrysalides, inside the net. Some had already come out. |
We put tissues dipped in sugar water for food. It was really cool to watch them eat. |
The kids were so sad to let the butterflies go. We had really become attached to them! And no, Andrew wasn't using them for nerf gun target practice!!! |
The butterflies had to be coaxed out of the net! (It was a mutual love!!!) |
Andrew is passing the Fat Joey to Sarah. |
This is remarkable. I have never been able to get so close to a butterfly. What an amazing creation God has made! |
