Step one-send away for our live caterpillars. Step two-caterpillars arrive...yippee! Step three-wait and watch as the caterpillars become chrysalis. Step four-move them to their ultra cool net home and wait for butterflies to emerge. Step five-remember that kitty cats are attracted to any and all flying creatures. This is where Van actually gets really interested...and unfortunately so do two very active nosy kitty cats. We tried moving the butterfly house to many locations up high to avoid kitty play but everywhere they went the kitties did follow. Needless to say, the poor butterflies did not have an easy start to life. Somehow we managed to have 5 live butterflies for a short...granted very short time. Final Step-set your butterflies free to a kitty free outdoors. Not sure how many actually "flew" away but Van sure did enjoy the freeing day. He dressed accordingly in his Diego-esque camo outfit and played nature boy.
