Today Joshua and Kahu waked in with a present from Mr Petersen, a chrysalis. He found it and thought we might like to have it in the class and see what happens. Kahu thinks there is a white butterfly inside, what do you think?
Below is a you Tube clip to show the life cycle from Caterpillar to Butterfly. Very interesting!
Hope you are there when it hatches- It grew very closely to a Swan plant...Does anyone know what kinds of insects like those??? from someone who knows...
ReplyDeleteI hope it is a white butterfly, and I hope we are there when it hatches.
ReplyDeleteMight be a monarch...
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be a white butterfly. I wonder when it is going to hatch.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that they shed their skin and basically become a larva again.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is not a white butterfly because they eat plants. I hope it is a Monarch because they don't eat plants. The butterfly is about to hatch so I hope I'm here to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is a monarch no doubt about it. Now I would really like to watch it hatch out of there. =)
ReplyDeleteWe have one at home about to hatch- perhaps a cousin or brother of your one? Did yours emerge yet?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no. We think it has died or something. It wasn't looking to good then it dropped off the branch :(
DeleteAw, boo hoo- ours hopefully is still hanging on!
