Donald ordered a butterfly hatching kit for Emily and she just raised and released her first...litter? Not sure about the group word for butterflies. Will need to do some research on that. They come as caterpillars in a tub of sticky peanut butter stuff, spin their way to the chrysalis stage, and then hatch out as beautiful painted ladies. We had to keep our habitat hanging in the upstairs bathroom out of the way of our two boys, who were very interested in the hatchlings. It was great fun to see the caterpillars grow and change and to eventually release them to live in the backyard. You should try it! Just keep them away from your cats!
