Wriggly Caterpillars!!

image image

The caterpillars are now fully grown and beginning to make their pupa or chrysalis. They will stay in their chrysalis for around three days, then emerge as painted lady butterflies. We can’t wait see the new butterflies!

 

If any pupils in Primary Three would like to take the caterpillars home over the weekend then just a post a message to let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Mrs. Curran 😀🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛

  1. Mrs Curran the caterpillars have made all their cacoons they might turn into butterflies we are going to have to put them in their cage.

    1. Thanks for letting me know about the caterpillars changing into their pupa stage. We will have to wait and move them into their butterfly home in a few days and they should hopefully emerge as butterflies on Sunday or Monday.

      I’m excited to see what happens next! 🙂

  2. Mrs Curran please may I take the catapillars home at the weekend I will look after them and I will tell you if they turn into butterflies I have no pets.

    1. Thanks Aaron for getting in touch about looking after the caterpillars over the weekend. I will put your name forward and let you know tomorrow. I know that you would take excellent care of them.

      Thanks,

      Mrs. Curran 🙂
