Butterfly Release

Metamorphosis is Complete

Meet our Painted Ladies!

This morning, our butterflies began emerging from their chrysalises!

The butterflies are damp and crumpled. They hang on to their chrysalises while their wings flap. The wings straighten out and dry.

Our butterflies are hungry. We gave them some sugar water to drink.

The Chrysalis - Metamorphosis Begins

We brought about sixty caterpillars into our classroom. They were very small and super fast. The caterpillars  were very hungry and consumed a lot of food (nutrient). We observed a distinct thickening, as they became larger and more bristley.

The caterpillars spun a silk thread or pad to attach to. They hung from this pad in a 'j' position with their heads hanging downward. Each caterpillar has now formed a chrysalis, which is a brownish or tan colour. The children are all wondering: What is happening inside the chrysalis?
