Catapillar to Chrysalis

Sierra received this Caterpillar to Butterfly kit last year for her birthday. We finally got around to ordering the live caterpillars and received them in the mail about 6 weeks ago. After about 3-4 weeks, only one of the 5 caterpillars made is transformation into a chrysalis.The next step was to move the chrysalis to the carrier where the butterfly will be hatched. We are to spray the chrysalis once a day with room temperature water. Then we just wait.... Sierra has been trying to learn all about Butterflies. She wants to be ready for when hers will finally emerge. She learned from "Diego" that they like to eat the juice from fruit.
