Sorry about the delay!

The stupid camera battery was dead... anyway...

Here are the pictures of the butterflies -

This one was actually "born" this morning...

Then - as they grow they get more color. This one was "born" two days ago. They will "eat" oranges. I haven't really figured that one out yet - but they do seem to spend a lot of time sitting on it. And the red you see on the napkin is the "left overs" from the protein they had to form into butterflies. It gets everywhere when they are hatched! -

And this is one opened up -


These are Painted Lady butterflies. When they are closed they kinda look like moths, that is part of their protection. They are really pretty when the open up! And let me tell you - it was hard to get good pictures of them without letting them loose in the house! HA!
