The butterflies are getting ready to fly!

Well one morning we woke up and checked the butterfly house and there were 6 butterflies that had come out of their chrysalis. We didn't get to watch the actual process, but it must have just happened because their wings were still curled up and limp. Here are a few pictures showing the Black Swallowtails getting ready to fly.

Here's a good shot of the Black Swallowtail chrysalis. It shows the variety of colors that they can be. The dark brown ones look like sticks!
