I Raised Butterflys at Home for 100 days! #butterfly

I ordered 6 live butterfly chrysalises, but two arrived without the silk attachment butterflies need to hang and properly develop their wings while hatching. Using extra silk from another chrysalis attachment point, I carefully reattached them so they could emerge safely. A few days later… one hatched early. Watching a butterfly unfold and pump fluid through its wings in real time was one of the coolest biology moments I’ve ever seen. Also yes… I’m still growing a sweet potato in water on my counter 🌱 #STEM #science #biology #nature #butterfly #metamorphosis #wildlife #ecosystem #insects #education #learning #naturelovers #swallowtail #animals #scienceexperiment #fyp
