Up date on the caterpillars!

Up date on the caterpillars!

Well here it is the caterpillars did not take long to munch through all their food and now we have four coccons in the net. How exciting hopefully it wont be long and we will have four beautiful butterflies to release into the wild! Dont forget to take a look at the cocoons if you visit nursery, will keep you up to date with any progress. Watch this space!

Or new friends the caterpillars!

After all the excitement of the chicks has faded away we have been lucky enough to have some new friends in nursery this week. We are now learning about the life cycle of butterflies. When our very small caterpillars arrived and they were very hungry! During the week they have doubled in size and it won't be long before they will start the process of turning in to a chrysalis or a cocoon. We will then try to wait patiently until our butterflies emerge. We have them placed on a low table so we can all see so don't forget to take a look when you come in to nursery.
