butterflies

This butterfly was caught from the park. Rey put it in an insect cage and we actually planned to return it back to its home the next day as it was raining heavily. But alas, it was found dead the next morning...we took the opportunity to examine it closely.

We had previously read a book about insects and Rey still remembers something about butterflies.

"Mummy, look. This is the powder from the wings. It helps the butterfly to shake itself away from a spider's web."

He also gets to see how catepillars turn into chrysallis and then butterflies in his kindergarten. The teacher displays 4 caterpillars in a cage in every classroom.
