Harvesting Butterflies

Madeline received a butterfly habitat for her birthday. We sent off for 5 caterpillars and over the last week, we've watched them grow from about 1/4" to an inch and a half. They are almost all now in the chrysalis stage and are hanging upside down in the provided jar. It's really cool to watch this happen in from of our eyes and Mads is so excited! She begged for me to give her a phone today while she was at school today so that I could call her when they turn into butterflies. She doesn't want to miss a thing. Hopefully this metamorphosis will take place in the evening or on the weekend!
