raising monarch butterflys from Caterpillars

[anunitu]

As a kid we used to raise butterfly's from Caterpillars. In California we caught the caterpillars and kept them in a large glass jar. I think this would be a great project for most kids.

Not sure if it would work in all parts.

I did find a site that shows how,good even if only for the read.

If you have never done this,watching the butterfly emerge from the cocoon is kinda magical.

Never heard of anyone but zoos doing that it's really cool though

Ooh! I did this in my childhood too-- and occasionally still do, but with moth caterpillars only. I agree, its both beautiful and brilliant to watch.
