Yesterday afternoon Model 2B got to see our caterpillar spinning it's chrysalis. It was quite amazing to watch! Now we have to wait about 14 days for it to hatch. Meanwhile...
Today at morning tea time our first butterfly hatched out. Sadly in all the excitement someone forgot about the important rule of not touching the butterfly when it emerges. This is because it's wings need time to dry so that it can get ready to fly. Our poor butterfly had oozy stuff coming out of one of it's wings and Mrs O had to very carefully rescue it and put it back on our swan plant. It looks like it might have trouble flying with it's sore wing but we have our fingers crossed that it will be ok.
