Monarch butterflies

 


                It was a warm sunny day - just perfect to release our newly hatched butterflies!






One butterfly emerged from its chrysalis while Ms W was holding the lid that it had been hanging from!


Looking for the proboscis (a long, tube-like "tongue" which the butterflies use to sip nectar and water.)


We decided to release the butterflies on flowers in the garden so they could fuel up on nectar before their big migration south!
