Our butterfly!

Last week, we took off from school and did some home remodeling.  Our chrysallis opened last weekend (the end of August), but I have not had opportunity to move the pictures to the computer to post them.  Friday, Aug. 29, we saw the butterfly hanging on the chrysallis.



We let it out to see if it would be able to fly. 



It flew to the window in the dining room.  So after Daddy came home for lunch, we let it go free.



Using the guide we got from the library, we determined that this butterfly was a female.  The males have 2 dots in their lower wings that we could not see on this butterfly.  Here is the empty chrysallis.



We are ready to try this again next year!  It was fun to watch the metamorphasis.

  1. I really liked the picture of the Butterfly with it's wings open. What a wonder creator we have to make such beauty. I like your blog very much. May I add you to my friends list?

    Have a blessed day!
