Tá peataí nua ag Múinteoir Fiona! Cúig speig neanta a bhí ann i dtosach, a d’fhás go tapaidh lastigh de dhá sheachtain.
D’éirigh siad an-mhór agus gruaigeach.
Tar éis 14 lá rinne siad crisilid, agus iad ag crochadh le snáthanna síoda.
Sa chrisilid d’athraigh siad isteach i gcorp féileachán ‘Painted Lady’ álainn.
Nuair a tháinig na féileacháin amach thriomaigh a gcuid sciathán agus bhí siad réidh chun eitilt.
Is breá leis na bhféileacháin uisce ina gcuireadh siúcra lena dhéanamh milis.
Thaitníonn sú ó thorthaí agus neachtar ó bhláthanna leo chomh maith.
Butterflies
June 07, 2019
Múinteoir Fiona has some new pets! They arrived as 5 tiny caterpillars, and grew very, very quickly within two weeks.
They grew very big and hairy. After 14 days they formed a chrysalis and hung by tiny silk strands.
Inside the chrysalis their bodies changed to become beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. When they emerged, their wings dried out and then they were ready to fly.
They like to feed on water which has been sweetened with sugar. They also like the juice from fruit and nectar from flowers.
