A friend of mine got this butterfly kit for Bodhi for his birthday. What a great gift! I thought it would be a good time to send away for the caterpillars this month since we have been spending so much time at home. The caterpillars lived in a small cup until they turn into chrysalides. At that point we moved them into the mesh butterfly garden. Once they turned into butterflies, we observed them for a few days and then released them outside. I think Bodhi liked the whole process of seeing the caterpillars change. Every day he would look into the small cup as the caterpillars got bigger and bigger. He was very cute when we finally released the butterflies. He kept saying "come here little butterfly" as he put his hand into the habitat to coax the butterflies out.
