Our Butterflies came out of their Chrysalises!!!  It was very exciting to see the butterflies emerge!!  We learned that it takes them about an hour to finally fly; their wings need to dry and fill up with blood.  We also learned that the red liquid that we thought was blood is actually called Meconium... which is the left over dye from their wings.  It has been really neat to watch them eat from the flowers and oranges we give.  In about a week though, we will be releasing them outside.
