So in this butterfly pavilion I have sticks to limit their natural habitat.

I also have some Mallow there.

One of their favorite ladies.

And so they can make their chrysal either from the side of the nest, from the branches or from the top of the pavilion.

So that's what I'm doing.

Now I have some Q-tips with me because I don't want to touch the Pink Lady caterpillars directly.

Because they're so good to our oil so I'm going to be using it to transfer them into our pavillion.

All right.

So here's one.

I should put the lid underneath in case it falls.

Here you go.

There's so sticky with those legs, They just hang on to the Q-tip.

Come on... There we go.

Okay one so far.

Here's 2.

It's OK.

Thank you.

This is family.

He'll be better off here for more space.

Come on you.

Well this one's really big.

Look how big this one is.

Not sure.

You can see it.

You can go, stick to the wood.

♪♪ All right.

So they are all moved in and settled in their new home.

About five days ago our caterpillars are a lava crawled up to the top of the container form their J shape and started to do one last molt to make their Chrysalis.

You can see it at the top here that little fuzzy black thing is a caterpillar molt, the last molt exoskeleton of that Caterpillar.

Looking at these two chrysalises.

You can start to see some of the adult butterfly body parts forming.

You can look for the eyes, proboscis antennae abdomen possibly part of the side of the wing.

Once all of the caterpillars that form their chrysalis is you let them stay in their container that small container for about a day just to make sure their Chrysalis has hardened.

And then you take off the lid carefully, take out that fabric piece and transferred into a larger container or habitat.

The old container would be much too small for all of the adult butterflies.

So they're now in this larger habitat.

I've put in some twigs that the bat butterflies will be able to perch on and climb on.

Once they emerge I will share videos of our adult butterflies.

We'll talk about the different body parts of all insects have and look closely at our adults.

Welcome back entomologist.

This is Mrs.

Leonard from Spokane Public Schools I have put together some resources from a couple of our teachers who've been watching our butterflies and caterpillars very carefully.

This first video is from Mr.

Sherwood at Westview Elementary.

She captured this at home.

Ready to watch?

What's going on in this video?

Look around do you see anything moving?

what's happening?

Do you see it right here?

Make a protection friends, What's it gonna be?

I bet you already know.

Look at those legs go!

And out it comes.

Can you believe it!

Let's watch it again.

What parts are you seeing?

Does it look like your Caterpillar?

So there we have it friend.

We've got our exo skeleton.

That was melted right before the caterpillar went into the chrysalis stage.

We've got the shell of the chrysalis, and we've got an adult painted lady butterfly.

How many adults can you find in this image?

There is one more chrysalis in this habitat.

We're waiting for it to emerge.

We hope to get more video.

What's going on?

What do you notice in this image?

What do you wonder?

How about this one?

And this one These still images are from Miss Robinson-Harding from Franklin.

She did a great job getting the detail on this Painted Lady Butterfly.

So what will happen next.

What do you think the adult butterflies will need to live?

Where do you think Painted Lady butterflies live in the wilds?

Could you see a wild one in your own garden here in Spokane?

We'll have to find out next time.
