<p>It seems like it has taken a long time, but our caterpillars are finally in the chrysalis stage!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>bring out your butterfly journal that you started with the caterpillars last week. This entry will be about the chrysalis. Attached you can find a picture of what they look like. You can take a close look and observe them. How have they changed from a caterpillar? What color are they? What is their shape? How long do you think it will take them to turn into butterflies?</li></ul>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10532" width="393" height="524" srcset="https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://www.wcccwellesley.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0540-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px" /></figure></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Julia read the book A Butterfly is Patient, this book describes the whole process from caterpillar to butterfly</li></ul>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>pretend you are in the chrysalis stage! Grab a blanket or a sheet and wrap yourself in it and then wiggle out to emerge like a butterfly- just like the video below!</li><li>make a prediction of what the butterflies will look like when they emerge; draw a picture of what color, shape, and size you think you will see when the butterflies are here!</li></ul>



<p>Check out these Blue Morphos emerging from their Chrysalises at <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/">Natural History Museum</a> in London.</p>
