I thought it might be educational to send some of the chrysalises my to grandkids school. North Landing Elementary has received a total of 6; 3 to the 3rd grade and 3 to the 5th grade.
The very next day, my final two eclosed.
Here is number 3 with number 4 in the foreground.
A close up of the number 4 chrysalis.
Within 30 minutes, number 4 butterfly comes out! This series took 5 minutes.
The butterfly dried its wings for several hours and eventually dropped to the bottom of the container.
My husband Joe and I released them into our garden.
One flew away immediately. The other allowed some interaction with Joe.
This was a beautiful experience for the two of us. We await news from North Landing Elementary School!
