Live Butterfly Garden - Part 2

Day Nine – Friday, October 17th - The caterpillars have been able to work their way to the top of the container. Under the lid is a piece of fabric for them to hang from. This is where they will build their cocoon.

Day Thirteen - Tuesday, October 21st – Over the weekend the caterpillars created their cocoon. It was so amazing to watch them do this. They should stay like this for a little over a week!


We moved them to their new home. That way when they emerge from the cocoon, they’ll have a safe place to live. To move them, you take the piece of material from underneath the lid and pin it to the top of the net.

Now we just wait for them to come out as beautiful butterflies. Should be any day now!!!
