July 7, 2008
Today the second of of our two black swallowtails emerged from its chrysalis. What a thrill for my kids! What a thrill for me! We invited our neighbors to come over for the little “ceremony.” Here’s the link to the release: http://www.youtube.com/user/LiitaForsyth
After we let the butterfly go, it landed on the window sill and seemed to be stuck, so Miika went and got it. The swallowtail then crawled up her arm and stayed on her hair for about 10 minutes before flying away. She loved every second…my bug girl. As long as she knows a bug won’t bite, they are like magnets. Lightning bugs, last year’s cicadas, lady bugs, inch worms, etc… she loves ‘em.
