Bugs are cool!

Jakson got a butterfly house for his birthday from the Maddie, Ethan and Maren. We sent off for our caterpillars and when they arrived - started the process.

These arrived via mail after we sent in our caterpillar coupon.

We started with 5 "painted lady" caterpillars. Jakson wasn't sure what to think of them.

Are they butterflies yet?

5 little cocoons.

Are they butterflies now?
Success! Only one actually made it to the final stage.
Jakson was pretty excited about this none-the-less. We plan on sending off for some more butterflies maybe in the spring. Now Jakson thinks science is cool.
