The Butterflies Emerge



Two out of five of our butterflies have exited their chrysalides, and it looks like another one is on his way out. They will just hang out for a couple of hours, pumping their wings until they get blood circulating in them. Then they'll probably be ready to eat. We'll mix up some sugar water and soak some tissues in it. They will then extract the nectar from the tissues. This has been a really cool thing to see. Nature is fascinating.

This is really just a test. I just opened a gmail account so I can comment. :) This is officially my first blog to follow. :) Go easy on me, I'm new. Love to the Caldwell 4!
