Caterpillars! Caterpillars! Caterpillars!
At the Regency Park branch, we are growing our very own butterflies! We have set up a display with some live caterpillars that we will observe as they transform into Painted Lady butterflies.
In this picture, the caterpillars are making their way to the top of their container where they hang in a "J" shape and form their chrysalis. Once their chrysalis is formed, it takes 7-10 days to complete their metamorphosis into a butterfly. "Metamorphosis" is a big word that means "change". When the butterflies have come out of their chrysalis, we will release them. Come in and check them out!
