One of Rubi's favorite gifts from her birthday was a little project called Insect Lure. First came a box with the caterpillars, which Rubi thought held "Elephants, Birds, or Giraffes".
The next phase was putting the caterpillars (once they were in their cocoons) into the netting/home.
Our butterflies happen to hatch on Neil's birthday.
Rubi was really excited about the "releasing" phase of this process, she walked around saying "I'm gonna let them go, AND CATCH THEM!" After we explained to Rubi these butterflies wanted to fly away to find their mommies and daddies, she was o.k. with letting them go.
These pictures would be better if we were releasing the butterflies in a field, next time we'll rent a farm for the occasion.
