Butterfly update

We have welcomed four of our new butterflies into the world today! One hatched out of its cocoon last night, one this morning and two at lunch time.

They stayed still on the sides of the net for a while then began to open and close their wings. Red liquid came out of their wings as they stretched and dried their wings.

They are still very sleepy and slow it are gradually waking up.

We have picked them some flowers, spread them with nector and laid them on the base of the net.
