Our library learning commons hosted some Painted Lady larvae and then butterflies over the month of May. It was so exciting to watch the larvae complete their journey into butterflies. With the help of our morning book collectors, we successfully released 7 beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies into the garden area at the front of the school.

| Painted Lady Caterpillars arrive in the library! |
 |
| The caterpillars soon out grew their beginning container. |
 |
| Shortly after being transferred each caterpillar prepared to form their chrysalis at the top of the net. | | | | |
 |
| Finally ready for release day. |
The butterflies left behind some really fascinating stuff, like their final caterpillar skin shed, seven empty chrysalis and intricate webbing. Some of these things can now be found under microscopes in the library.
