The children will live the experience of watching caterpillars turn into wonderful butterflies.   For the first phase, the small caterpillars are placed in a container with a special premix. After 7 10 10 days, the caterpillars will have matured and will begin pupation.

For the second phase, the larvae have now formed chrysalids, which is the rebirth of the caterpillar before it becomes a butterfly. We are expecting a dozen butterflies to emerge from the cocoons around June 1st!
