One of the best projects we've done this year.
You send off for the caterpillers and when they arrive they are so tiny. Within a few days they had tripled in size and by the time they began to form into chrysalids they were huge big black hairy beasts!!! We then had to watch and wait and finally out came beautiful butterflies. Everyone who comes to the house was involved in watching progress until finally we released them into the garden on a lovely sunny day and watched them flutter away. Pure magic!
