Butterflies

Today our cocoons have begun birthing butterflies. There are 7 out so far. 1 died trying to emerge and 1 still has curled wings, but we are hopeful that the rest will birth healthy butterflies. The plan is to keep them until all have come out and then release them outside. Here are a few pictures of the early birds. It made for an interesting morning, trying to get my boys to stop watching butterflies and get ready for school.
