Butterfly Time

Today, our babies finally emerged from their chrysalis - we've been waiting for this day for weeks!  We have observed the process right from the start, when the caterpillars were just wee fellas.  We watched them eat and eat and eat, while getting bigger and fatter and bigger and fatter.  Next came the chrysalis, in which they stayed for a few weeks.  Since the end of last week, the colour of the chrysalis changed colour from bright green, to dark green, to a magnificent teal colour and finally to a clear, transparent shell.  Watching them spreading their wings and eventually fly out the door during maths was an awesome experience.  Have a great life our monarch butterfly friends!
