Today, we released the butterflies outside. The kids were excited and sad to see them go. I explained that we needed to let them go so they could go find lots of flowers and food. I also promised we could do this project again.


The caterpillar container- a sterile environment, complete with food. Once the caterpillars crawl to the top and form a chrysalis they are transfered into the butterfly habitat to emerge.


In butterfly habitat, we fed them fresh cut oranges and sugar water.
