# Observing our caterpillars grow and change

Over the past few weeks we have been observing our class caterpillars grow and change. They have grown from tiny caterpillars to much bigger caterpillars, and then they turned into cocoons! We are excited to report that this week, two beautiful butterflies emerged from the cocoons! We have given them some fresh fruit to eat, in order to keep them strong and healthy. We are now waiting for the remaining butterflies to emerge before we release them into the wild where they can find a new habitat!
