The Butterfly Cottage
![Page 2: Butterfly Cottage](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54bb21e64a795923288b481d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This is the outside of the sunroom.

This is the sunroom where we have the butterflies in the cage that lay eggs. We
also used this to start some of our plants.

The Painted Lady butterflies are laying eggs on a Hollyhock leaf.

This leaf probably has about 500 eggs that were laid in one day.

The eggs are about the size of a head of a pin. They will hatch in 4 days.

These are the newly hatched caterpillars. It looks like they are trying to repel off the side of the
cup.

Caterpillars have a spinneret much like a spider and spin threads that act like safety ropes. We
put these little guys on artificial food as soon as they hatch.

These are the cups we use to raise the caterpillars. There are approximately 30-50
caterpillars in each cup.

Once the caterpillars in the growing cups become ½ inch long they are ready to be
placed in the student kit.

These are the pupae (chrysalises). Each coffee filter has 15 pupae. There are approximately 450
pupae on this table.

This is the butterfly flight house.

I place Gatorade soaked cotton balls in a nylon stocking to make the feeder for the butterflies.

These are pots of the hollyhock plant. We use the leaves for the egg laying.

We have parsley, hollyhock, and milkweed plants to be used for food for caterpillars.

I am teaching a class of second graders about the anatomy of a butterfly.
