The Caterpillar...
The Chrysalis...
The Butterfly...
Ryley taking her butterfly outside for the releasing ceremony
She insisted on touching the poor butterfly.
We were able to assist the butterfly onto her finger.
May we introduce The Painted Lady...
About a month ago, we went to a great place called Kidspace. It's a museum for kids with a lot of different activities (all kinds of stuff) for the kids. They have insects and even a colony of bees, they have a tricycle area, a garden area, a basin that includes a creek. It's really a great place to visit with the kiddos. Check it out https://www.kidspacemuseum.org/. We adopted a caterpillar and brought it home. Ryley was so excited to learn about the creature. She was fascinated with the entire process. It really makes you think back when you were a kid and did this yourself! We helped her make some sugar water for it and collected sticks to place inside the bug catcher. When it came time to release it we had to coax her into it. She really loved looking at it. She really considered it her pet (maybe it's time for a fish again, although she has asked about getting a frog). We told her we would look for another caterpillar and do it all over again.
