Butterflies!!!!

We arrived this morning to discover that all 5 of our chrysalis had hatched over the weekend to become beautiful, healthy Painted Lady Butterflies.

 We had hoped to entice them to sit on our fingers once we took them outdoors using sugar water. However, I think they were far more interested in escaping their small habitat and getting some real food, and they quickly took off!

There it goes!

We were able to look at the empty chrysalis.
