As a fun project this spring we decided to get caterpillars and watch them grow and change into butterflies. The kids have been inspecting them every day and we have been keeping track of what happens to them.
Day 1 - received 5 tiny caterpillars in the mail

Day 3 - Growing a little - One died
Day 5
Day 6
Day 8 - interesting fact that we learned - The caterpillars do not spin cocoons, they split there skin to reveal the chrysalis
Day 9 - All of the caterpillars are now chrysalis
Day 10- We moved them into the Butterfly habitat
Caleb thought this was really funny because all of them started shaking as a defense mechanism.
Hooked in the habitat - now we just wait
