I am so glad lots of you have been able to do try this fun Butterfly transformation. They are creepy, but worth the heebie jeebies to see how this process works!

I would like to order some of these painted lady catapillars so they will metaporpose by the time my Grandchildern come the first of July. I raise butterflies, having raised 4 kinds last year and releasing 4 dozen. I mostly raise monarchs. They will not be ready to hatch the first of July with our late Spring and growing season.

I’m just so grossed out by this, I have the heebie jeebies.

This doesn’t bode well for the two little boys under my care.

Such a cool idea Marie, my son is VERY into caterpillars. The very hungry caterpillar is a much loved book in our house. I may have to try this!

My boys loved this. We actually lost a couple while trying to transport them with us to Utah a few years ago. Couldn’t let them emerge while on vacation.

It’s great!

Jos – I haven’t heard how it could be bad for the environment. That’s interesting. It is an amazing process and a really neat science experiment for kids though.

Lynne – Yeah! I can’t wait to see your progress.

Vanessa – That is hilarious about your moth eaten clothes. These aren’t moths, they are Painted Lady Butterflies. And if you have them in their habitat to hatch, you should be safe from them flying around the house!

Kim – Thanks for finding me. I love Today’s Creative Blog.
