Caterpillar Chronicles, pt.14
Aha! Finally a boy butterfly:
You can tell it's a boy because of the two spots on the bottom wings (scent glands). It is our one and only boy so far.
Butterflies 7 & 8 have come out this morning. We'll let them go later on today. Here's Little One enjoying his new friends:
They really can't fly until their wings are dry. We tried putting him back on the branch and he lost his grip, fell off, and was like a turtle overturned. She couldn't get herself back upright without help. Here she is drying off with butterfly 8 (not sure if its a he or she yet).
My mood: sick and at home.
