A butterfly emerging (look right above the orange) @GuilfordEle #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

The butterflies are here! They are strengthening their wings and drinking juice from oranges and watermelon. ⁦@GuilfordEle⁩ #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

Still waiting for butterflies! Any day they will emerge! ⁦@GuilfordEle⁩ #gatorsdeserveit20

Chrysalises wiggle to scare away predators. They will stay in chrysalises for 7-10 days. We will know when they are about to emerge because they will get dark. @GuilfordEle #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

This one was becoming a chrysalis and was moving around a lot! @GuilfordEle #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

Caterpillars are ready to become chyrsalises! Notice how they all hang in a J shape at the end of the video. @GuilfordEle #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

The caterpillars are ready to become chrysalises! They will shed their exoskeleton 1 more time and in the next few days we will have chrysalises! ⁦@GuilfordEle⁩ #gatorsdeserveit20

Day 7 The caterpillars are growing! They will grow to 10 times their size. The little black balls are their exoskeleton. They will shed their exoskeleton 5 times! ⁦@GuilfordEle⁩ #gatorsdeserveit20

[Kim VanArtsdalen @MissVanArts]

Our caterpillars are here! Day 1: They are eating and moving. About 7 days until they will form chrysalises! @GuilfordEle #gatorsdeserveit20
