We took the girls to the Monarch Watch event at the university this weekend.
As Olivia got up close and personal with with a caterpillar, she quietly informed the staffer that “caterpillars turn into butterflies.” The helpful response came back, “WELL ACTUALLY, they turn into chrysalis FIRST.” . . . Um, thanks. She’s three.
The butterflies were contained in a mating enclosure, making them somewhat hard to photograph.
I can tell you, though, these two should get a room.
We came home with a few butterfly plants for our garden–hopefully we’ll have our own Monarchs at this time next year!
