Much to the delight of the 4th grade girls, one of our resident monarch butterflies emerged from her chrysalis yesterday and was set free to enjoy many new adventures in the wide, wide world! Nibbles came to us as a caterpillar who loved to nibble on lots of milkweed. She soon attached herself to a stick, adopted her "J" position, made her chrysalis, and yesterday emerged as a beautiful butterfly.
Rumor has it that after Nibbles was released, she flew around the entire Bryn Mawr campus just to see what it was like - there were several reported sightings of a monarch butterfly from very reliable sources! Please enjoy these pictures and share in our excitement. Our second caterpillar, Bob should be emerging next week. We are so proud to be the stewards of these two butterflies.
