Caterpillar watch!

Our caterpillars have now shed their skin and have made their cocoons; we have removed them from their container and pinned the paper disk they are attached to inside the butterfly house. They now look like this.

They will stay inside for 7-14 days; whilst inside they will make an amazing transformation, actually liquefying and morphing into a butterfly.

I hope they stay inside over the half term so that the children can see them emerge as butterflies, I will keep you all updated in case they decide to emerge early.
