What is better than demonstrating with the real thing? Give your students the opportunity to watch caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. Raise and feed your very own butterflies and then release them into the wild!The entire transformation from caterpillar to adult butterfly takes about three to five weeks (cycle length varies throughout the year).
