We got some caterpillars!
We have been learning about butterflies in the home and trying to work out how we can get more to visit the garden. So we have planted flowers with butterfly-friendly seeds and we have a butterfly house.When the time comes they will attach to the lids and chrysalises. Then we put the lids in a stand and place them in the butterfly house, where eventually they will emerge as painted ladies.
We will then release them among our flowers. When the seeds have grown hopefully we can then attract more butterflies.
