Last week we released our butterflies in the courtyard garden. Most of them were eager to spread their wings and explore their new habitat, but a few needed a little encouragement. The children were able to see some of the butterfly body parts more clearly as they landed on flowers and explored the garden. (You will notice in the photos we have our hands outstretched hoping that a butterfly might land on one!) We are now very excited anytime we spot a painted lady butterfly when we are outside, and wonder if it could be one of ours!
