The Butterfly Cycle


We received our catepillars in the mail.  We watched as they got bigger and bigger.
 



 
When we came back from the weekend, we discovered that each of the catepillars had made a chrysalis.
 

 

 
We put the chrysalis in the net container and waited!  By the next Monday, we had five butterflies.






 

Now it is Friday and it is a beautiful day so we need to let our friends (or pets) go to make their way south to warmer weather.  We wonder if they will go to Mexico.




 
Away the butterflies go.  We will miss them.
