Entomologists

Today we transferred many of our caterpillars to their butterfly home.  The caterpillars that have started the metamorphous stage and are now in a chrysalis, have been safely placed where they can hatch.  We are so excited to watch the process.  Today we recorded our observations in our journals.  One chrysalis was shaking so much we had to make a video!  We thought it might fall off the lid.  We learned through our research that the caterpillar is now a pupa and it shakes when it’s body is changing. Check out the video below.
