So our fatties are starting to turn into pretties! We have released the first couple of swallowtail butterflies! Bugga was so excited to see them fluttering about in the butterfly house. I snapped a few photos.
The first is poor quality, but I wanted you to see the underside of this species of butterfly, the colors are more vivid with blues and oranges:
And this is one of the little pretty getting ready to venture out of the butterfly house. I figured I'd share this one because you can get an idea of what the butterfly house is like and also what the chrysallises look like (even though they aren't as interesting) for these swallowtails:
And lastly, about to fly away (yay!):
Everytime we get to see the caterpillars and butterflies I'm always amazed. It's really a beautiful process.
