Growing Butterflies


A few weeks ago we got these little caterpillars in the mail and have been watching them grow. I thought it would be a neat project for Nate, who really hasn't seen things like this before, but turns out we've all had fun with it. (If you want to do this yourself you can get the kit here.)




They literally double in size every day so we thought it would be neat to photograph them lots...



The first one hatched out of its chrysalis today. In a big splash of red, blood-like meconium. By-products of their transformation.




Reminded me of the quote about our re-birth as Believers, and the mighty transformation that God makes happen every day.

"Just when the little caterpillar thought her life was over, she became a beautiful butterfly."
