The Butterfly Experiment

If you've never ordered a butterfly kit, I HIGHLY recommend it! It was so awesome to watch them grow and change! The caterpillars arrived in this cup and were just tiny little motionless things. Just a few days later they looked like this... A week or so later we had...
All 5 of the caterpillars turned into butterflies which we were able to release in the backyard...

This one sat on Skye's finger before flying away. It was so fun to watch them flutter around before taking off out of sight!
Butterfly #5 only made it this far. He didn't (couldn't?) fly like the others. So we named him Walker John and kept him in his cage until he lived out the rest of his little life. It was so cute to have a butterfly pet for a week :)
