Siena received a butterfly habitat for her birthday from Great Grandma. When it warmed up a little we ordered the caterpillars. She received 2 containers with 5 caterpillars in each one. A little over a week later the caterpillars formed into a chrysalis. After 3 days I transferred them into the habitat. A week later they began to emerge. All 10 Painted Lady butterflies emerged. We fed them fresh oranges and sugar nectar. We ended up having a cold snap and had to delay releasing them for 2 days. We released them into our butterfly garden - 2 of them stayed for a long time.
