Just like that they were all out. One chrysalis was still there but looked very different. I kept watching it but when the butterfly escaped while I picked the kids up from school. Apparently the butterflies like their privacy.
We have five Painted Lady butterflies.
It's hard to get a picture of them with their wings open.
This one was taken through the net.
Carley refuses to release them. She's hoping that they will lay eggs and start the cycle again. I have doubts.
But we did have mating butterflies.
So maybe.

You really should have a disclaimer at the top about that pornographic butterfly picture. I was looking at this with my kid in the room! Sheesh.
Anyway, I hope they...um...lay eggs? Or whatever.
What a cool gift that was for Carley. And very educational. Your a great mom for following through with it all!
