We raised five Painted Lady Butterflies!! Elsie loved it. She got the kit to grow them for Christmas and so she had to wait quite a while to raise them as it had to be at least 50 decrees outside for them to be released. We got them sometime in early to mid May and then we let them fly away on June 2nd! Elsie had raised butterflies at school about a month earlier and so she knew all kinds of interesting facts. She kept showing us things like the caterpillars have pro-legs and regular legs and telling us how many wings butterflies have too. It was cute and very good to see her excited about science. I have to download the pictures from my other camera where the photos releasing the butterflies are. Elsie invited several friends over to help her release them. She was very excited about having them all hold one before letting them fly away! And it worked!
