The boys loved watching caterpillars turn into butterflies last year so I ordered some more caterpillars again this year. They were so excited and wanted to look at them all the time. We had one butterfly emerge a couple of days before the rest. I put some fresh watermelon in for it and we watched it drink it and waited for the rest. Rexford noticed when the others started to come out and was very excited. Austin kept having me hold him up so he could watch the butterflies fly around. We kept them for a day watching them fly and eat. Sadly, one of our butterflies died. I think it was the one who came out before all the others. It looked small so maybe it just wasn't developed all the way or something. Anyway, the other four were fine and we released them outside in the backyard and they all flew away. Rexford was sad to see them go but says that they are out exploring the world :)
