Okee-dokee folks! All creature have transformed... or at least began transforming!
Today 1 of the 5 chrysalids hatched a Painted Lady butterfly!! Yippee! We've been watching the butterfly 'air-out' its wings, but still waiting to see how it uses its straw-like tongue to drink the sugar water and eat melons and strawberries!
In this picture we see two lady bugs, but I promise there are about 10-15 of them in the habitat. I took this picture to show the raisins they love to eat!
FINALLY! The ants arrived in our mailbox! This has been a really neat process to watch! The ants began working on their tunnels almost immediately! Apparently I was supposed to put a small piece of fruit into their habitat, but I read those instructions AFTER I put in a couple chunks of graham cracker pieces... but they sure are eating it up!
Yay for the butterflies!! 1 down 4 to go.I wonder if katie named it yet?
