Butterfly Project

The hot summer days are here, but so are the butterflies. They love the hot weather, too. These are Black Swallowtail caterpillars and I have 15 of them! Two of them have formed a chrysalis already. It has been so fun watching them.

This is the butterfly house mom lent me to keep them in. The chairs brace it from being blown over by the wind.

The caterpillars are at different stages. Here is a small and a big one. The big one is probably ready to form a chrysalis any day now.

Here's a chrysalis attached to the side of the butterfly house. You can see the little silk threads holding it up.
