Butterflies!

If you love nature, insects, miracles, then the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is for you!  I found out about the Butterfly garden while I was teaching first grade, 12 years ago.  It truly is an amazing experience.  Here is the link for the site where you can order the garden...

It is a real butterfly hatching kit, and actual Painted Lady butterfly caterpillars are mailed to your home. You watch the caterpillars eat and grow, and then you get to watch them "transform into their chrysalis'.  About a week later, the butterflies emerge, and you let them go!  Here are my own photographs of what happens...

This is William checking out the chrysalis'...


Here is Viv checking out the first emerged butterfly...

And here are some of the butterflies eating some oranges...


It's amazing.  It's fun.  You will love it.
