Butterfly

Rhett's class just recently learned about the life cycle of the butterfly. So I went to his class to take pictures of all the stages.
Here is when it is still a caterpillar, although this caterpillar did not make it. It looked like it was missing the back pincher thingies to help make the chrysalis.
These are the chrysalises after Mrs. Johnson transferred them from the cup to the net basket thing. They are so cool! They are gold and shiny. You can kind of tell from the picture, but they are much more brilliant in person.
And finally, the butterflies. I tried to take many pictures of them, and this was the best one I could take. It was kind of hard with the net to take the picture, but there were eight butterflies that made it. Luckily I came in on this day, because later they released them!
