Releasing the butterflies

It was a lovely sunny day when we set them free, and they can fly for hundreds of miles in search for food, so no need to worry about them.

No guesses for who is going the be an actress one day (Eden was extremely happy to see them set free though).

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.

Niamh reading the poem "What is pink ?"

What is Pink?
Christina Rossetti

What is pink? a rose is pink
By the fountain's brink.
What is red? a poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? the grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? why, an orange,
Just an orange!

Caterpillars - 3 weeks

All the caterpillars have turned into chrysalises now, Eden says the butterflies are going to be orange because you can see some orange colouring through the chrysalis.
We transferred them to the butterfly habitat for when they turn into butterflies.
