Painted Lady Butterflies cycle

I bought a Painted Lady Butterfly set, which comes complete with the enclosure, 10 caterpillars and the necessary food.
It was an really interesting experience. Not everything went exactly to the plan as laid out in the instructions.
When the caterpillars turn into the chrysalis state, they're supposed to hang from the top of the feeder pots. Mine didn't so I thought all was lost. I ended up fixing them onto the side of the enclosure with sellotape!
To my surprise it made no difference and we ended up with a 100% success rate. It was a real treat to be able to release them all.

All these shots were taken over a two day period.
I was testing both my 20D and 40D, as I'm not at all happy with the Auto focus performance of my 40D.

How I managed to miss all these beauties for so long baffles me. For 40 plus years I'd hardly noticed them.
