Ethan got a Live Butterfly Garden for his Birthday this year and we have been watching the caterpillars grow bigger everyday. It started out as a larval stage and then the caterpillars enter the pupal stage as they crawl to the top of the cup and hang upside down. Then they will curl up and harden into beautiful iridescent chrysalids. This is where we're at right now...in 7 to 10 days, we should see butterlies! How cool is that?
