Today something amazing happened!!! One of chrysalis' opened to a butterfly :) This morning when we arrived at school the chrysalis had changed from its beautiful green colour to a clear colour and we could see our little butterfly friend inside. 20 minutes later and our little friend has broken free and was uncurling and airing his wings. Honey let his wings dry until just after morning tea and then Mrs Davis came to help us move him outside :) Mrs Davies should really have the name 'Insect Whisperer' because she knows so much about insects and bugs! She taught us that monarch butterflies have 2 toes on each leg and also that if they have 2 black dots on the bottom of their wings then it is a male butterfly. Honey has those 2 dots so SURPRISE - Honey is a boy :D
Thank you for taking the time to share all of your knowledge with us Mrs Davies!
Fly free little Honey :)
