A few weeks ago the kids got a butterfly hatching kit from their favourite aunt. Can you guess what our caterpillars got up to last night?
As you can see caterpillar number three became a chrysalis! Now we have three chrysalides and a crazy, hungry caterpillar still throwing shapes into the night.
How did this happen? The caterpillar hangs in a 'j' shape and sheds their exoskeleton for one last time before hardening into a chrysalis. We hope to capture the birth of our butterflies in a week or so time.
How did we do it?
There is lots of great stuff out there:

How did we do it?
- We hooked up our pi with pi-camera and attached an eye- glass to shorten the focal length of the pi-camera.
- We used a cold light to light up the scene into the night.
- Check out our lego housing. We can change the height of the camera using the gears!
- We modified an existing time-lapse program.
