The day is here! My caterpillar is finally a butterfly! I took him from his new cage and let him go free outside today.
Only one small problem. Wouldn't fly =/
The kids kept trying to grab him up, so I tried to put him in a tree to keep him safe while he worked his way up to flying away.
But he fell out =/
Finally after 20 mins of trying to keep the kids away, I just put it in the next playground's grass and left it to fly away. I think it finally started getting a few feet off the ground before we had to go inside. Pretty cool to watch it turn into a butterfly, but I guess I should have found out how long it takes them to fly afterwards, haha. Next time!
