Eastern black swallowtails...

We have been encouraging our children to learn about science and biology through observing nature. We successfully hatched eight eastern black swallowtail butterflies from caterpillars recently. It was amazing seeing them form into chrysalises and then a week or so later pop out into magnificent butterflies!

One morning we awoke to find that three butterflies had hatched!
Beautiful butterfly!
