Two Butterflies Come Out!

Two of the butterflies came out of their chrysalids this morning. The are from caterpillar 10 and 17.

We looked inside the empty chrysalis and we saw a tiny bit of web in there. It was at the part where the head was. When we looked with a magnifying glass the golden spots were all white. It kind of collapsed but also kept a bit of its shape.

The butterflies on one side look colorful and on the other side not so colourful. When the butterfly is out of the chrysalis the chrysalis is a lighter colour and lighter in weight. I looks like a Monarch butterfly because the Monarch and the Painted Lady butterfly both have black and orange on its wings.

Today two butterflies came out of their chrysalids. They were number 17 and 10. We saw that there is some red stuff on the wings and the screen of the cage. My theory is that the red stuff is the blood of the butterfly.

Two butterflies came out today. One butterfly was walking upside down on the top of the cage. There is some red stuff on the bottom of the cage. I think it like extra blood that they squirt out after they came out the their chrysalis.

Today two caterpillars turned into butterflies. I wonder why butterflies flap their wings when they are flying and sometimes when they are not. There is a little bit of red stuff on the butterflies wings. One of the butterflies were upside down. They are different sizes and they have a little bit different patterns. And they look like Monarch butterflies.

It's cool that when the butterflies get out of the chrysalis, the chrysalis looks a lighter colour (lightish yellow) than before. A butterfly was walking sideways on the butterfly cage. We saw it fly from the north part of the cage to the south part of the cage.

Two members of our team had butterflies come out today. My butterfly was flying up inside the cage. My butterfly was flapping without flying. I think the red stuff in the cage is butterfly blood.

I was excited to see if my theory was true about the colours of the butterfly. I was half right because I said it was going to be blue and red and black and orange and these butterflies have no blue on them. I was surprised when I saw the butterflies come out of the chrysalids because I have never seen a butterfly come out of the chrysalis before. We think the red stuff is blood from their wings.
