Day 27

Since the caterpillars have now become butterflies, the blog is all but forgotten and the butterflies have become mine to maintain. So, I'll share my experiences. The other day, I was changing out the sugar water that we feed the butterflies and one of them fluttered out of the habitat. I thought i would have to scoop it up and hold it securely in my hand. I put my hand around the butterfly and it immediately started sipping up the sugar water that was still on my hand. It was the most amazing thing, I had a butterfly eating off of my hand. I didn't even have to hold it, it sat contently on my hand until I put it back in the habitat.

  1. That is pretty cool. So...what now? how long do they live? Do they lay eggs somewhere? Have you seen them mate like turkeys? Are you planning to release them outside? Full of questions, Aunt Christy
