Butterfly Magic




     My mom bought me a Butterfly Garden kit.  It came with 10 caterpillars, caterpillar food, and a butterfly house. I was a little worried at first because I wasn't sure it would work but it did! Be careful not to move the cocoons too much or they might die. When they get moved or have stress the cocoon starts to wiggle and spin. 
      It was very fun watching their transformation. Just like magic!




This is a Painted Lady Butterfly.
I had a lot of fun with this project!




     My favorite part about having my own pet butterflies is watching them fly around my room. But be careful of their wings, they are very delicate. If their wings get damaged they will not be able to fly. Their life span is 3 weeks.

I went to a  butterfly house in Vallejo CA
