I am telling you that we have had about every kind of animal you can feasibly have.

This was our butterfly experiment.  We had a lot of trouble getting the larvae, but once we did, we followed the instructions and it didn’t take too long before they were forming cocoons, and then hatching.  After watching them fly around for several days, I talked Justin into letting them fly free and loose.  It really took quite a bit of effort to get them out of their habitat.

The life cycle of a butterfly is pretty short...so if you are looking for a quick, easy pet that won't hang around forever, the butterfly just might be for you. 

Good job Justin on raising 4 butterflies and letting them fly free!!
