The Butterflies have emerged - 10 days later

The red liquid is meconium - left over colouring from the wings and unneeded tissues.

All 5 of the caterpillars have now changed into beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies - we all agreed that God is truly an awesome creator and artist.

It must have been so interesting to see your caterpillars develop into butterflies. (metamorphosis)
Did you know that you can tell the difference between male and female. That female has the larger abdomen.Now you can tell me how many boys and girls you have.
