The Metamorphosis Is Complete!

The last two of our ten painted ladies emerged today!
Aside from the yucky meconium, we have loved this experience! What a great gift. Both kids have really enjoyed watching our caterpillars and butterflies. (Why didn't I do this as a teacher? I guess because I never got to teach about this part of science. Too bad for me!!!) Hopefully we'll be able to keep our painted ladies alive for awhile and then release them into the yard. The weather is supposed to cool off tomorrow, so we'll wait until it warms up a bit again.

You got TEN butterflies?! That's awesome! How can experiencing each stage of this not leave you in awe, huh?
