Painted Lady Butterflies ( Page 2 of 3: 8 photos)
Back to the main T.O.C. | Back to butterfly facts |
1. What beautiful butterflies the Painted Ladies are! The orange, black, and white on their wings is stunning. |
2. The colours underside the wings are a softened grey. Notice that only 4 legs show! The front two legs are folded into recesses in the chest area. 3. Can you see the proboscis? It is usually curled up under the "chin". |
4. Butterflies that had damaged wings were placed in a large net enclosure that I made. We decided that we would keep these ones safe in the classroom rather than release them. |

6. Thanks to a B.C. Entomological Society "Bucks for Bugs"
grant, we were able to purchase a marvelous "Butterfly Pavilion".
At first the Pavilion is housed in the library so that the whole school
can enjoy our butterflies for the few days before we released them. |
8. Thanks to our wonderful Parent Association, in 1998/99 we were able to take our pavilion out the library door and into the outer courtyard named "The Sanctuary". The parents built a fantastic pond area, complete with a fountain! |
