Alley got this Butterfly Garden Kit for her Birthday. We sent off for the caterpillars and food and the kids couldn't wait to get them! They were so excited when the UPS guy finally delivered them. The Caterpillars were super tiny when they first came. We just had to leave them in their little jar with food. They ate up lots of food and by the end of the first week they were full size caterpillars. It only took them a couple of days and they crawled to the top of the jar and made their Cacoons. 
It was sorta gross =) and pretty interesting to watch this whole thing. The kids were pretty amazed at the whole process!
It was then time to transfer the cacoons from the jar to the mesh butterfly garden net. Artie made me do it...haha.
About a week after they formed their cacoons, they started coming out of them and were Beautiful Butterflies. So Cool!! There was 5 of them.

We fed them sugar water and after a couple days it was time to let them go before they decided to mate. They already tried that! =) And then we probably would have done the whole process again!
This was really fun for the kids
Bye, Bye Butterflies!!
