Butterfly Release


We had the magical experience of raising caterpillar larvae and watching them transform into lovely painted butterflies. It was incredible to watch them just slip out the chrysalis. Persephone took an active part in our little science project and loved feeling the butterflies crawl on her arm before we released them outside for the remainder of their short, but hopefully happy, nectar filled lives.

Good thing you took photos so Persy can remember these moments through pictures, if not memories. You are a very creative mom.
