My butterfly metamorphosis experiment is progressing nicely. All five caterpillars have now entered the pupal stage, hardening into chrysalids. It is within this housing that their caterpillar body parts will undergo a remarkable change. This transformation will take between 7 - 10 days, at which time they will emerge as beautiful winged butterflies.

That is so neat! I really want to buy some for my boys so they can see what happens.
Cool! Hope you get to see them emerge.
Wow, how amazing to watch!
Very cool macro!
I love how spiny they get- it's amazing
Please forgive me -- but I'll come back when they're butterflies! ;-)
awesome!
Very cool! Love seeing the updates! =)
Very cool! What kind of butterflies are you raising? We raised a bunch of Monarchs last summer and plan to raise more this year. It is truly incredible to watch.
