My Monarch Butterfly was a success with our Kindergarten Class. I found another Caterpillar (Katie the Caterpillar) on my Butterfly Weed, took it to school in a nice big jar...
Of course we didn't catch it tuning into a cocoon,(Cris the Chrysalis) but the kids thought it was cool...
This picture was taken just before it opened. It was so neat to see those wings so clear. How small they looked...
Until it opened up and they all unfolded in front of us...
We counted down the days til it turned into our beautiful Butterfly..(Betty the Butterfly)
Thank goodness we caught it on video...
So here you go, watch how cute it is...
Now it was time to let her go (her of course because she was so BEAUTIFUL)
She flew up into the tree just high enough that we could see her one more time...
The kids loved it, then she took off one more time making a loop all the way around us and away she went.
It was amazing to watch the whole process and I was so glad to have been able to share it with the kids...
Hope you ENJOYED!!!
Have a good one...

Hello Lynn, I enjoyed your posts very much. The seeds are bountiful here and I always collect more than I can use. I can't resist. The monarchs are beautiful. What a wonderful experience to share. I enjoyed my visit. (I am in KY.)
