St George's Butterflies

17th Jun 2022

A few weeks ago in the 3rd and 4th class yard we spotted some small blobs on the fence. We looked a but closer and saw that they were actually chrysalis that a caterpillar had made. We have been watching them carefully to see what happened, and today we found a butterfly that had just emerged! He was still cleaning his antenna and wings when we found him, that's how we knew he had only just come out! We think you will agree that he is a really interesting looking butterfly. The other four chrysalis are still full so we can't wait to see what type of butterflies come out of them.
