My mother had some inside at Christmas, in about 5 days those caterpillars had tripled in size, boy can they eat. I just love the beautiful jade colour of the chrysalis with its gold bits, your photos must have been taken very close to hatching
I used to watch these every year on my Nana's swanee tree at the farm when I was a wee little girl, your post has brought it all back to me, the hours of watching and waiting and shrieking with joy when the butterfly emerged.
I could not work out where you were talking about and then I saw the butterflies(vlindertjes)are,n they gorgeous it is such a pity that such a beautiful thing has such a short life but then they give in that short life such joy and that is wonderful. thanks Levien for letting us enjoy these things with you puck

awesome!
Fabulous!
The pictures are gorgeous! But happily ever after... most butterflies only live for a few weeks, so I hope they have a great time in your garden!
