Froglet

Today Miss B made a sad discovery in Froglet and Show off's tank. The frogs have not been very active because it is getting cold and they stop moving to conserve their energy, a bit like hibernating. Unfortunately when she checked them today she found that Froglet had died. Miss B has buried him in a nice sunny place in the garden at her house.

Monarch Butterflies

Yesterday Miss B put the swan plant outside in the sunshine, the butterflies stayed out there all day drying their wings. In the afternoon she noticed they had suddenly vanished, so she went looking around the garden for them and found them feasting on sunflowers!

Butterflies

Yay, we finally have monarch butterflies! Miss B took the swan plant home for the holidays to keep an eye on it and kept it in her spare room where it is nice and warm. Today she set up the camera and computer to record them, just in case they changed, and went out. When she got home she couldn't believe her eyes, two beautiful new monarch butterflies were hanging from the swan plant! They are now just hanging on the plant letting their wings dry out. Just as well she didn't forget to record it. Hopefully the pictures look great and she will use them to make a movie to show the children what happened.
