Questions we have:

• Do the butterflies have food inside the chrysalis? -Juny
• Why was the cocoon shaking? Casey
• Why are the cocoons hard? -Kayleigh
• If the web is sticky how does it become hard? -Albert
• How do they turn into butterflies? -Keira
• How much do they eat in their lifetime? -Paytin
• If the caterpillar is in the cocoon, it will be sleeping, and when it wakes up, the energy it used to grow and change will be gone and it wont have food in the chrysalis, so how do they push the hard shell off? -Albert
• What happens after they turn into a butterfly? -Ryan S. 
• How can the butterfly's feet be strong, but are so small? -Elin
