Our butterflies are beginning to hatch!!

What an exciting day in Phoenix house! Our butterflies are beginning to hatch! We were so excited to watch this process, the chrysalis first turned a black colour and then slowly went clear and we could see the butterfly's beautiful wings. Finally it hatched out from its chrysalis, at first it was really small and it's wings wet. We gave it time to dry out, and it began to open and close its wings. We knew we had to take it outside into the garden, we placed it in the garden and watched for sometime. Eventually it flapped its wings and flew away. All the children in Phoenix house were so excited, it's been an awesome learning experience watching them grow from little tiny caterpillars.
