Butterflies

We ordered some caterpillars from Insect Lore so we could watch them turn into butterflies. The boys thought it was great. Personally I found it a little disturbing. They shake and look like they're in pain before they make their cocoons. Then when they finally come out of the cocoons it looks like they've gotten blood everywhere. I did some research and found out that they shake to ward off predators and the red stuff is actually left over stuff that helps them turn orange. But...I still think it's weird.

The boys really enjoyed watching them fly away.
