We've had an exciting few days with our butterflies!  Last Wednesday we observed that the butterflies had laid eggs on an orange slice in the butterfly house.  On Thursday when I went to take the orange slice out to put in an insect observing box to contain the caterpillars once they hatch.  As I was doing this, I noticed there were eggs all over the side of the butterfly house.  The side of the house is a net.... with small holes.  When I came to school on Friday there were little caterpillars all in the butterfly house AND all over the table the butterfly house was sitting on.  The holes of the net were small enough for the caterpillars to escape!!!

Carefully with a paint brush the eggs and caterpillars were brushed into the insect box.  The butterfly house is now hanging outside of our classroom window!
