Butterfly Days

Hi Here are some of our monarch caterpillars that are quite fat. Sometimes when they are babies the monarch caterpillars are very small and hard to see.

This is a chrysalis at the start of his two weeks inside. The reason they are called monarch butterflies because they have yellow spots like a crown.

This is a monarch butterfly almost at the end of it's chrysalis life. As you can see the monarch butterfly is about to hatch.

This monach butterfly has just hatched from it's chrysalis! The monarch butterfly's body is so fat because the blood is in the back of it's body. It is pumping the blood into it's wings.

This monarch butterfly is almost ready to fly. The monarch buterfly is drying it's wings! By Harrison and Samuel.
