There is so much excitement in Room 17... our Painted Lady butterflies have emerged!  We have two butterfly homes full of butterflies.  Everyone enjoys watching them flutter about.  We had a chance to observe them close up. I overheard some great comments:
"Look, it's sticking its tongue out at me!"
"No, that's the proboscis."
" It has white knobs on the top of the antenna... I wonder what they are?"
"I can see both pairs of wings. They look different."
"Wow!  Its eyes look like beads!"
I can't wait for Thursday!  We will be off to the Pacific Science Center.  We will walk with the butterflies!
