The boys found a bunch of these caterpillars on our parsley. They wanted to put one in a jar, so we picked the big one.
Within two days, it had formed its chrysalis. In this picture, it is already out. You can see through it since its empty.
Exactly two weeks after we captured the caterpillar, 6yo noticed the butterfly in the jar!
We took it outside, but it wouldn't yet fly away.
It didn't take long until it was ready, though.
