Hatched



Our butterflies courteously waited for us to get back from D.C. to emerge from their cocoons. The kids were thrilled.

A few days later we released the butterflies into the wilderness.

Then I threw away the habitat because when they emerge from the cocoon they have a goopy red goo (which is leftover caterpillar stuff) that smears all over. Disgusting!

But it was a very educational experience for the kids and they loved it!

My girls so want to do one of those. Everytime they see one they ask about it. They even copied the phone # from the tv one time and gave it to me.
