Close up pictures of caterpillar and chrysalis

Here are some close up pictures of our caterpillars and chrysalises.  We connected a microscope camera to our smartboard!

caterpillar body - you can see the bristles well and the little
 round "o"shapes are spiracles (breathing holes)

caterpillar head

all curled up

chrysalis near head

other side of chrysalis
(head toward bottom) -

the antenna of the butterfly
