Our last births

Friday was such a busy day!  We had the last two chrysalis hatch with two boy butterflies.  We can tell that they are boy butterflies because they have black dots on their hind wings.  We stayed after the bell had rung so we could all have a hold of our butterflies.  All our other butterflies had hatched during weekends so we didn't get to have a chance to hold them.
They felt tickly!  We didn't know that they had bits on the end of their legs that were like claws.  They need these to hold on tight.
Some of us needed to be very brave but we all showed compassion when giving them to others and in helping some of the children who were a bit scared.  It has been exciting watching our caterpillars turn into butterflies and now we need to make sure we look after our plants so they are ready to go into our butterfly garden at the end of the year.
