Butterfly progress
The caterpillars we had been looking after in school had become pupa, and had created their hard cases. Your teachers and teaching assistants took them home to look after and will be posting updates for you all here!
Videos!
Watch our butterflies in action. Very gentle wing movements here. Just getting used to them. Video sent from Miss Wise.
Update! Miss Wise has kindly sent 3 short videos of the butterflies being released.
Wow! Miss Alcock has been very patiently waiting and managed to get this amazing video of a butterfly emerging!
