Harvesting Butterflies

Our science project for the month! This is our butterfly habitat. We ordered this really cool kit and then mailed away for caterpillars. They came in the mail in this cup of food. We watched them for a week travel to the top of the cup and begin to spin this really cool silk stuff.
They covered themselves in this silk and made cocoons. They hung this way for about 8 days.
Then they changed into this very pretty brown and orange Butterfly. The whole process was very cool and so interesting. Funny know that I sit and write this it reminds me of what God must see and witness every time one of us come to him tired and warn out and dirty and he transforms us into beauty and makes us usable!
Here we go as a family out to set free our butterflies. They only have a life span of one to three weeks, so we enjoyed them for a week and now will let them go to enjoy nature! (See Vanna at the top right displaying the net?)
