The Photo Hunters theme this week is
what IS that? Can you guess what this is?
It is a chrysalis from my butterfly experiment! All five of my caterpillars grew up, climbed to the top of their little cup, and turned into chrysalides! I learned something new, because I did not know the chrysalides would have beautiful golden accents. I thought they would be much uglier. I also did not know the caterpillars would poop all over.
Now it is time to transfer the chrysalides into the Butterfly Garden Habitat. You have to pin the paper disk onto the Habitat. My Mommie had to help with this part because I am Not Allowed to handle safety pins.
I hope the butterflies hatch soon! The instructions say it will take seven to ten days. I cannot wait to witness the Miracle of Birth!
Oh, hi Mommie. I am just keeping an eye on my new pets. Do not worry, I will not bother them.

I mean me! I need to patiently wait until the butterflies come up!
How Purrty, Daisy! We know that we cats are naturally curious, but you must try to be patient!! When they hatch and start fluttering about it will be much more exciting, and of course, all the more beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is all very exciting, Daisy! Thanks for sharing these important moments with us! We can't wait to see the butterflies!

Wow, good work, Daisy! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool can't wait to see the butterflies :)
ReplyDeleteDaisy, I sure hope they hatch while you're watching. When my daughter was in kindergarten their butterflies hatched while the class was outside at recess, and their chicks hatched over a weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat was purty. We want to see the butterflies. I like butter and want to see it fly.
ReplyDeleteWow Daisy! That is so cool! We can hardly wait for them to turn into butterflies! This is so exciting.
ReplyDeleteYour FL furiends,
That is a great closeup of your new pet, Daisy! We can't wait until they grow up into beautiful butterflies so we can see the wonderful pictures your Mommie will take of them! Happy Saturday to you, Pixie and Mommie!

This is getting really exciting now Daisy. Have we really got to wait that long ?
ReplyDeleteYuck I hate cattypillies, they eat the plants and sometimes they make funny smells but they do make nice moths and buttyflies so I forgive them. FAZ

ReplyDeleteWe are so excited for you!

Hey, about a year ago my humans had some butterflies just like that.
ReplyDeleteThey all hatched and after taking pictures they set them free.
Oh Daisy you are such a good mother to your wiggley wormies...so concerned over them. They are going to be so beautiful!! Do you need to boil water and get towels for this birth?
