And notice how transparent the wings are!
And here is what the big net looks like in my classroom. This is what I found today when I went into my classroom to plan for the week. All have emerged except the one, the late bloomer, which is still hanging from the top of the net/habitat. (And yes, Shauneen and Caroline, that is my National Geographic map of Africa, which I always keep on my wall in honor of my friends from South Africa.)

It's absolutely gorgeous! Do you find yourself feeling a bit like a butterfly mom?
I would hate to let them go for fear of what might happen to them!

How gorgeous, Bea! I have some in my classroom too, but they haven't hatched yet! We have both butterflies and moths - we're excited to see what each look like. Hopefully, they'll come out this week! I'll take some pics too! Love Caroline
These are the best photos I have ever seen of a butterfly. I so love the transparency of their wings. I had no idea this was so. They never seem to hang around on a flower long enough to look for this phenomenon. I have learnt more from you again Bea. How wonderful! Many thanks.

those pictures are just beauitul. Thanks for sharing them.
Great pics. B. x
One day i saw an ugly grub like thing on the grass. I picked it up and sat it on my finger. It had two tiny stubby wing things. Over the next few hours the wings grew and filled out whilst all the time sitting on my warm finger. The ugly bug turned into a beautiful moth and i felt privelleged to have been a witness to it.

Really is beautiful! Ever wonder. God didn't have to make everything with so much beauty. He could have went totally for function. I think the beauty is His gift to us. - Barbara
Bea, the photos are lovely and, yes, the butterfly is gorgeous! HUGS Chris

Thanks so much Bea for the next in the series photos :-) GORGEOUS!!
PS I DID notice the African map :-) TKS!!!!!!! Your SA buddy
I never had much success with caterpillars when I was a kid. I didn't have enough patience and also I had a cat with a habit of eating anything that moved.

Fabulous photos!!! I've got to learn how to post photos one day. Carlene sent me directions over Spring break, but I still haven't gotten around to playing with it. Hey...don't forget to reread "Leo the Late Bloomer" now! ;-)

I feel I know so much about the Painted Lady Butterfly that the final adult has much more significance. Children today are aware of countries like Africa and how the people live on a day to day basis, which increases their understanding of the global community. What effects one nation effects all the rest in the world. mark
Pretty sure that butterfly was
common in the Australia of my youth.
I wondered why looking just now
gave me a nostalgic quiver.
