From Catepiller to Butterfly!

Cocoons! I realized I didn't take a picture of them as a caterpillar! :(

You can see here one has hatched from its' cocoon and its' wing is still not all the way out.

And here it IS! Unbelievable!

Lid is open and watching them fly away!

Have you ever watched the entire cycle in which a caterpillar turns into a butterfly!? WOW! FASCINATING! It brings me to my knees! We serve an AMAZING God! Truly!

In one of our Language Arts lessons, Laine and I read a poem about how a caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly. I've heard many things about the neat process that it takes, but I've never witnessed the entire process myself! Truly a miraculous thing. How they can spin that cocoon and more or less "hatch" out of the cocoon with LIQUID wings and then turn into a GORGEOUS butterfly is truly breathtaking. I thought it'd be pretty cool to witness it myself, so I purchased a butterfly house and we experimented with watching this amazing process. I didn't get near as many pictures as I should've, but you can see a little bit! We eventually let them fly away! Would totally do it again if I could!
