A Little Bit of Summer...


Julia's Christmas present was a butterfly canopy with 6 painted lady butterfly larvae. We watched them grow from about 1/4" length to about 1 1/2", then crawl to the top of the container and form chrysalids. Then we watched the butterflies emerge. We have 2 left and yesterday we let them out to stretch their wings and have a little snack.

That is so neat. I have wanted to do that for school. What a fun activity. And definitely, a bit of summer! So fun!
