Primaries 2 and 2/1 were very excited to see that more butterflies have emerged from their chrysalis.  P2a now have 7 butterflies and P2/1 have 4 so far.  All of P2b’s caterpillars are still inside their chrysalis transforming.  Miss Toner helped us to put some sugary water in a bowl at the bottom of the butterfly garden for the butterflies to drink.  We are also going to put some apple slices in for them to eat too.  The red liquid that you can see inside the net is not blood.  It is extra liquid that the butterfly uses to stretch its wings out.  It’s not very pretty to look at but it is important for the wing formation.

We hope to release the butterflies on Monday!
