Mrs Whitmarsh's Caterpillar (Butterfly!) diaries

We have butterflies!

The first one emerged yesterday, and today the final three have also come to meet us. It took a while for their wings to dry, and while we were waiting we put some orange segments and some sugar water (in place of nectar) in the net for them to have some food.

I am hoping the weather will be a little warmer and more settled tomorrow so that we can release them. Luckily, I have a few 'butterfly friendly' plants in my garden, so hopefully that will be a good place to let them go.
