The last 2 butterflies emerged while we were gone today. The online store only guaranteed three, but all five made it. Hooray! They aren't moving too much, and we've only seen one of them eat, but I think they will get more active now that they are all dried out. We saw one drink from the orange slice we placed in their cage yesterday. They use their proboscis like a straw when they eat. It was neat to watch.
Later tonight Danielle was looking at one that was hanging on the net. It was coiling and uncoiling its proboscis and even stuck it through the net at one point. Danielle excitedly squealed, "He's trying to get me with his kielbasa!"
