cocoons

These little guys are hard at work!  They've already started making their cocoons (all the white stuff) to enter the chrysalis stage.  So fun to watch!  Meredith took them to school today along with a poster of photos we took.  Thomas will do the same tomorrow.  Then we have to let them go back into nature.  Hopefully they'll adjust well and continue on with their life cycle just fine.  Several friends have come by to look and/or take a few home with them.  Unlike other butterflies that stay in one spot, these move away from their food source to find a place for their cocoon so it shouldn't be an issue for our friends to watch these at their own houses, too.  Nature is so amazing!
