We were excited when a delivery of caterpillars arrived in the post!

We watched them ‘munch and crunch’ then get bigger and bigger. After turning themselves into chrysalides, we placed them carefully in a net and watched and waited while they ‘slept’. We came in on Monday morning to find that they had all changed into beautiful butterflies. We had to give them juicy fruits such as melon and oranges to make sure they didn’t get thirsty until we could release them outdoors.
