Raise a caterpillar into a Butterfly 🦋

          Have you noticed the changes until the Caterpillar becomes a butterfly??? My sister and I tried it ourselves. First, we learned online how to raise a Caterpillar🐛 into a Butterfly🦋. The life cycle of the butterfly consists of 4 stages- egg, larvae, pupa, and adult.

      We found a Caterpillar who was about to become a pupa. It looked like a pale green. We put caterpillars in a bottle with holes large enough for ventilation. We fed the caterpillars daily with fresh leaves🍃 from the host plant. Caterpillars eat a lot and hence they poo a lot. So we cleaned the bottle regularly to remove the poop.

              After the caterpillar stopped eating and attached itself to the underside of some leaves. then it shed its skin for the last time and turn into a pupa. The pupa was green in color. Then we stopped to feed anymore. We Kept the butterfly house in a safe place. After 9 to 10 days, the pupae turn dark - actually, it has turned transparent and by we saw the patterns of the butterfly's wings. 

         

  A few more hours later the butterfly came out of the Pupa. It was a Lime Butterfly.(Papilio demoleus)



   We were both very happy😃. It was a wonderful feeling! Finally, we released the butterfly into its new world🌳🍃🌺. 

                       I hope you will also be motivated to have that wonderful experience.😍
