We have butterflies!

A "GREEN" Caterpillar

 Look where we found a chrysalis. This caterpillar was an environmentally friendly one. He decided to hang out on the recycle bin.

This is a close up of the chrysalis. COOL!

All of the caterpillars in the Lower School are now in Chrysalis and only about two caterpillars remain in the Upper School. 

The ones we found on the safety vest and recycle bin were escapees.

Here is another escape, we found right outside our classroom door munching on a crown flower plant we have out there. IT IS HUGE!!!! We think it is be biggest one we have raised yet.

We are hypothesizing that big caterpillars will be come big butterflies. We shall see!

There's a chrysalis on your back!

The girls discover a chrysalis on Ms. Tyau's back!

No More Plant?

Look we ate the whole plant! Now we are working on the stalk!

Almost There!

Some are big and some are almost there!
