Butterflies

This butterfly habitat is one of the gifts that Alden got from Grandma Cyndy at Christmas time. We waited until the weather was little more fair to send away for the mail order caterpillars. Once the arrived we followed the steps of letting them roam about for a few days, watched them form into a chrysalis, harden, be motionless, then start to emerge. It was fascinating and a little gross. Those caterpillars were timely, too. On the day the booklet suggested they may or may not do something, they would do it and not a moment too soon.  I was impressed. For the photo above, you can tell that Alden was also.
