Spring Has Sprung!

Mostly it's sprung winter like weather on us here in central Texas.

Through a lucky chance, the science teacher had some painted lady & wax moth larvae that needed homes. Since my kids 2 yrs ago loved our moths I offered our classroom as a home.

Well the moth food began to mold & were hoping they survived before it got bad.

The painted ladies are going gangbusters. They turned into pupae not long after we got 'em. Just today, thankfully I went & got a plant for them to nectar on if they get hungry. Good thing cuz we have a butterfly now! Can't wait to see the kids' reaction on Monday morning :)
