We were learning about Leps in our Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day science curriculum and watched the process of metamorphosis up close! We started with catapillars, watched them get plump:), watched their crysalis' form as they hung upside down, them watched them emerge different creatures a week later. We kept the butterflies for about a week and it was so fun for the kids to see them up close and recognize all the anatomy we'd been learning about! Daily we'd hear "Look! That one is sticking it's proboscis into the orange!" or "I can totally see the scales on their wings!" or "There are the knobs on their antennae!" "This one is stretching is forwings but not it's hindwings!". We even had lots of opportunites to talk about how God makes us new creations when we become Christians. So thankful that we emerge as different creatures too!
(Myles and Sophy were apart of the butterfly release too, but the butterflies didn't cooperate for pictures.)
