This week, the butterflies have finally emerged from their cocoons and we had ten beautiful butterflies. Hedgehogs were super excited when they came in Monday morning as the life cycle of a butterfly had happened in front of their eyes. We seen tiny caterpillars change into bug hairy caterpillars and then into brown, golden chrysalis’ and then turn into beautiful butterflies.

The last job Year Two had to do was release them into the wild so that they could start the life cycle again in nature. The Hedgehogs’ were very enthusiastic to do this. We released them down in the environmental area and one by one they flew out. Some of the Year Twos’ were lucky enough to have them crawl onto their hands to help them fly away. It was such a magical moment!
