Marveling at God's handiwork...

Over the last month we've watched our little caterpillars...turn into big caterpillars, chrysalides and then...

yesterday the greatest transformation took place...in the picture below you see one butterfly that emerged from the chrysalis and if you look just to the right of that butterfly you can see another butterfly beginning to emerge from the chyrsalis...

once they emerge they rest in a vertical position while they pump their wings to full size

Micaiah screamed..."Look at his proboscis!" This butterfly moved it in and out as he entertained the boys...

and then it finally showed it's beautiful wings as it began to eat some "sugar water" the boys had placed in the habitat...

this morning Micaiah opened up the habitat to feed them and a butterfly flew over and rested on his finger...pretty soon we'll release them but for now we're enjoying their stay!
