Today we released some of our butterflies! It was a little bit cold so we saved the rest for the weekend when Mrs. Dent Scarcello will release them in her garden. It was really fun releasing the butterflies, some stayed on our fingers for a long time and landed on our noses!

Today we moved more chrysalises out of their cups. We didn't have enough room in our cage and Mrs. Dent Scarcello was going to buy another one but Mrs. Malkoske had one to loan us. She made it! It is great because the butterflies will have room to fly around inside. There are still 6 caterpillars left, they are really big and we think they will be chrysalises really soon.
