It was humid outside and about 80 degrees today. Even though the chrysalids are inside, they seemed to know it was a good day to be a butterfly. In a big surprise, Mom called me at lunchtime to tell me my Palamedes had come out! I thought it was going to wait until spring! And yes, the black on my fingers is scales from the butterfly. This is why you shouldn't touch them unless you have to (like to let them go outside). Mom really liked this butterfly. This is the first one I've raised, but I told her we'll have more this spring. Then she says, "We have to wait until spring?" Silly Mommy.
