They had received a caterpillar and watched it become a chrysalis, but then headed off to vacation over the 4th of July. We were happy to babysit while they were gone, and we hadn't even had the chrysalis 24 hours when it was transformed.
First the green chrysalis turned black. And then we started to see while markings on it. Then - all of a sudden - I looked over after naptime and there was a butterfly hanging upside down in the jar.
What a cool experience! We're not going to forget it!!

| We were amazed that the caterpillar attached its chrysalis to the plastic wrap! |
 |
| After letting her wings dry for at least 12 hours, we released her in our front yard. |
 |
| The butterfly took awhile to come out but then simply disappeared on us. She flew up and was gone. |
