Jessica raised and released over 30 painted lady butterflies this year. Jessica completed this last year and she wanted to share her achievement in helping maintain the butterfly population. Jessica raised them from caterpillar to butterfly and below are some pictures of them when they went into their chrysalis to transform into butterflies. (The red on the butterfly house is not blood, it is what they expel from their body once they have come out of their chrysalis). We are very proud of her achievement and she is going to be doing it next year.

Wow, that is a lot of butterflies to care for, well done. Thank you for sharing this with us Jessica.
