Caterpillars and Butterflies

 

We released our last 3 butterflies today!!
I will always be in awe of this process...collecting the egg or the tiniest of caterpillars from the field of milkweed, feeding them daily, watching them grow, building the chrysalis and the transforming into that butterfly! It's simply amazing!

Caterpillars and Butterflies!

 We're still going strong with our caterpillars and butterflies!! I had to stop Fyn from bringing in more caterpillars:)












Always amazing to me!!












Visit with Grandmother

 For today's visit with Grandmother, we brought the caterpillars that we've been collecting on milkweed to show her.  She got a kick out of them after she said "oh, you got a lot of bugs."  They're tiny right now...


Caterpillars and Butterflies!!

 We've had many more days of watching caterpillars grow, feeding them milkweed, watching them transform into their chrysalis and then to butterflies!!




Caroline was here today when we got to release a couple!!




This is too cool!

Precious wonder:)

Release Days are fun! 
If you take them out, not long after they've emerged, then they'll sit on your hand longer as they get their strength in the breeze!

Elle got to be here for this release day! 
This one had more time in the net after emerging, so it flew right out of the net! 





Two at a Time!!
Our last one! Such an incredible experience with my girl!
