Raising Butterflies at home !

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ,

Yes I was away again ! Sorry for that ! But we were on the way of homeschooling ! Just could not got the time to update the blog.

By the grace of Allah ( SWT) , Allah gave us a chance to raise butterflies at home which was really unplanned! Believe me !

Last month , i was cutting lady fingers , i got the black caterpillar from one of them. We thought to make a habitat for it. A very educational homeschooling experience got a head start !

It took weeks for changing the leaves every other day for them . We also got other caterpillars from leave too. MashAllah !

With patience , we saw those caterpillars transforming into different levels of instars!
1st instar
2nd instar
3rd instar
4th instar
5th istar

subhanAllah , it was an amazing experience for S and us!

we saw pupation of every caterpillar

Finally last week , we saw butterflies in our home! subhanAllah

Pictures!
