Butterflies Are Here!

Two sets of butterfly larvae has arrived at the Library and are installed in my office window. The first group has already spun cocoons! It is amazing to watch how much the caterpillars grow in just one day!!!

It will be about a week or so before we have live Painted Lady butterflies in our habitat. We will keep them on display for 3 - 4 days before releasing them into the wild to make more butterflies.

Be sure to stop by the library often to see this truly wonderous evolution! This is our way of welcoming spring to Lincoln.
