In the first image, a vibrant orange painted lady butterfly is resting on a half-eaten orange slice, its intricate black and orange wings fully extended. The second image shows a child's hand gently holding a painted lady butterfly, allowing it to perch on their finger and showcasing its delicate beauty up close. The third image depicts two painted lady butterflies resting side by side on a person's hands, their wings folded upwards, revealing the stunning patterns beneath. The final image features three young children, two girls and a boy, beaming with joy as they observe painted lady butterflies resting on their outstretched hands. The children's smiles and wonder capture the magical experience of witnessing the life cycle of these captivating creatures.

It's always awesome when the people at the Galveston Children's Museum know you so well that they give you "left over" chrysalis for you to hatch. We let our Painted Ladies lose in two sets... The last two decided to be "stuck together" on the first try and we had to wait until they were done copulating (bottom left)- so now you know! I decided to be brave and tell the kids I thought they were making babies. Meg informed be though they they were just stuck together and I was wrong. Whew. That was easy ;)
