We ordered caterpillars this month to watch them turn into butterflies!  Even though we’ve done this before it was still exciting to see. 

Once they create their chrysalises we transfer them to this:

Four out of five caterpillars made it to butterfly this year, but one was a little mangled.  His wing never fully opened.  He couldn’t fly too well and so he hung around on the kids, which they of course loved.

When we let all of ours go, we went to see the ones at the zoo butterfly house.

Waiting for one to leap onto his finger.

It leaped onto his back instead!

Such amazing little creatures!  Thank you, Heavenly Father for giving us this wonderful creation to enjoy.
