The Birth of a Butterfly
L's mama brought over some butterfly larvae from her classroom. I was pessimistic as two previous attempts were unsuccessful, but alas, we got a butterfly! The red liquid you see on the bottom of the house is called meconium. It’s the left-over color and unneeded tissues from the butterfly’s wing formation.
