Nursery News – Our Butterflies

We have been watching our caterpillars grow over the past few weeks; they began as tiny caterpillars and grew at an amazing rate, shedding their skin as they grew. Then they created their chrysalis’ and we watched closely for them to reappear as butterflies.  One day we noticed a butterfly and within the following 24 hours all the 33 butterflies emerged, some of us were lucky enough to see some of the butterflies actually come out of their chrysalis.  We kept the butterflies in their net enclosure with some food until the next sunny day and then we released them into the garden.
