We had been growing up a caterpillar to butterfly for 2 months ago.

From a tiny brown worm, then turn to green caterpillar. After eating so much kari leaves and lemon leaves, finally it turned into a pupa. For about 10 days, a beautiful butterfly resting in our container.

Anyhow, the first experience was a good lesson. Without any support, the butterfly became handicap. the wings can't flip and the butterfly died after a day of 24 hours. Sad!

The second time, we rolled in some net material as support. This time, two butterflies were successfully grown. We support them with some flowers in the aquarium. They had been staying with us through out the weekends.

Just Monday, I gave them freedom to join their friends in the school butterfly farm.

I feel glad to support this tiny caterpillar and turn them into butterfly. It was amazing! Anyone wants to try out? I have many at home.
