butterflies!

No longer just caterpillars and cocoons-we now have butterflies!  Several butterflies have emerged today, and I missed seeing all of them...I did get to see them once they were out however.  Here's a look

This is the one which I had been keeping inside-I freed him as soon as I saw he was out!

Hopefully I'll get to see one actually breaking free soon!!

Whilst I was sitting enjoying the butterflies, I noticed this unusual little critter.  Some sort of caterpillar I suppose, but no idea for sure!  Interesting though!
