Newly emerged cabbage white butterfly (wings are still a little wrinkly)

butterfly (we ended up with five of them....only lost the one that was eaten by a VERY hungry caterpillar)

Releasing the butterflies

A butterfly came into the house a couple of days later...I'm sure if was one of ours coming back to his roots...

Your butterflies are so pretty! Are you going to post pictures of the tadpoles? (While they are still alive?) -Dana

Hey there, Tuesday! ;) Yes, homeschooling is going great! I think my life runs a little smoother with the structure of school than in the summertime! Summertime is a blast though! I hear you are training for a marathon! That is awesome! I am running a little myself but so far only 2 days a week! Maybe we could all 3 run some time! Amber

They died....I feel like a failure....even though I was pretty much expecting it to happen...after Oliver dumped ashes on them and all. I did get fresh water for them today (and we released a few to help with the overcrowding factor), but I think the trauma of being moved so much was just too much for them....=(

I'm not giving up though...I'm going to get more....=)
