The Brand New Chrysalis

On Wednesday Room 3 saw something very special.

We noticed that one of the caterpillars was changing into a chrysalis.

The caterpillar was changing into a green chrysalis very quickly, maybe just 5 minutes.

The caterpillar was wiggling and jiggling to get its skin off and to get into the chrysalis. The caterpillar was getting smaller and smaller and the chrysalis was getting bigger and bigger and greener and greener with gold spots.

Now the chrysalis is hanging on the wall and we are waiting to see what will happen next.

We found an egg on a swan plant leaf and we also have lots of caterpillars on the swan plants, some are little and some are very big and fat. We have plenty of things to watch and talk about in Room 3. Come in and we will tell you about the eggs, caterpillars and chrysalis.
