Strange Happening Yesterday

Strange thing had happened yesterday that I forgot to mentioned in blog. I was explaining to H. She couldn't believe it had happened.

As soon as we got home after drop Mikaela off to school. Butterfly had hatched! Kyron and I took butterfly to outside. Opened the lid. Butterfly was still practicing with their wings. He/she got on the edge of box (whatever it called). I told Kyron - said good bye to butterfly. We went inside.

We went and picked Mikaela up and went out to do some errands. We came home and shared the news to Mikaela. Oh boy, she wasn't happy that we let butterfly go without her.

She went out side and guess what? Butterfly still there! Mikaela was so happy. She said - Thank you for waiting for me. Butterfly flapped and fly away.

Was wondering is the butterfly waiting for her before she/he fly away? So strange!

I have to thank that butterfly for waiting on Mikaela. It has been over 3 hours waiting. Wow that butterfly does have patience!

Today, one of cocoon hatched. Mikaela and Kyron were so exciting. We took them outside to witness butterfly to fly away. Wow its a happy moment to free her/him but at the same time heartbreaking because we will never see her/him ever again!

We just had one caterpillar that just turned into cocoon recently. One - should be hatch at anytime as we are waiting...

the baby caterpillar had grew more... now probably over an inch long.

Caterpillar just became into cocoon. and as you see butterfly is there she/he just came out from his/her cocoon.

Anytime...

the black one - anytime....

EAT and POOP

Mikaela said, "All he do is EAT and POOP!" We kind of agreed with her. Grampa gave Kyron and Mikaela - 1 cocoon and 2 caterpillars (one is very tiny - baby). Now we have two cocoons and 2 caterpillars (again! there was a baby in there and one had grew - Mikaela couldn't believe in her own eyes).

The caterpillar was baby when Mikaela first saw and now he/she grew so much. (I think she is she because there was a other baby in there and I took out and put in other container because he/she kept on escape through hole on top - when he/she gets bigger then will return back to that container.



Caterpillar - eating and pooping (all black dots are poops)

Baby - so tiny!!


Baby's poopies!


Waiting for new butterflies - probably within 4 days left. (Monrach)


Once it open (hatch). We will put them on Deck - let butterfly dry their wings and fly away - hopefully find a new homes in Maryland as they were orginally from New York.

Will take pictures when it comes out from cocoon.

Fun science project for Mikaela and as well for Kyron.

Grampa told Mikaela - next year the new project will be TADPOLE! urgh...
