Did this in my First Grade class one year. When the butterflies hatched, we kept them for a day, then had an almost ceremony when we released them.
I think we had 6 cacoons hatch. We gathered outside and released them, only to watch in horror as each and everyone of them was picked off and eaten by birds in less than 30 seconds.
The kids were tramatized. All I could thing of was that each meal the birds had, cost more than my school lunch that day......
That's what we have right now! I have to say it is one of my kids' most favorite gifts ever. 9 of the 10 caterpillars are in their crysallides (or whatever they call them for this kind of butterfly). My kids are loving it. I'll remember the bird thing though. :-)
My daughters friend had one too, we got to "butterfly"-sit for them while her parents were out of town. I think the idea is pretty cool!
Perhaps Ryan G. is an Aborigine?
