Butterflies

For our homeschooling unit we grew and studied five Painted Lady butterflies. Ada waited patiently for the caterpillars to change into chrysalides and then finally emerge as butterflies. We enjoyed them indoors for a couple days then set them free. The first one fluttered quickly out of the habitat and away but Ada was able to gently handle the remaining butterflies.

Lots of Ada close-ups and a few iris photos thrown in :)
