Raising Butterflies- Stage 3 They emerge!!

On Friday our butterflies started to emerge from their chrysalis.  What an exciting time! When we left for the weekend we had 1 completely out and 2 more that were shaking back and forth vigorously trying to emerge. When we arrived at school on Monday morning we had 7 butterflies and by lunch time all 12 had emerged! The butterflies are drinking sugar water. Tomorrow we will release them in our newly planted butterfly garden.

 The chrysalis gets translucent as the butterfly prepares to emerge. Do you see the wing designs?
