The Life Cycle of a Blackberry

[mamaspark]

My grandkids have been experiencing the magic of nature. First they found some Monarch caterpillars in their garden. Then they sent me a photo of the chrysalis that formed. They found 3 although there could have been more

Then last night it began to change and the is morning you could actually see the butterfly inside.

Of course it emerged while we were at music class this morning but was still there drying its wings.

As ours got ready to fly we noticed two others flying around us. They must have been somewhere we didn’t notice in the garden. There is still one more green one (that we know of).

Isn’t nature amazing?!
