When the children started, the larvae were a greenish blue color, and smaller than the head of a pin. Each student had a larva in a container on their desk, and they made bi-weekly observations in their science journals. About three weeks later, the caterpillars entered the chrysalis stage, and they were placed in a butterfly cage. After about one week, the chrysalis turned black, and beautiful painted lady butterflies emerged. A week later, the children released their butterflies into their natural habitat in Sierra Vista&#8217;s pollination station. Each child had a chance to hold the butterflies, and some butterflies even came back to say goodbye!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5188\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5189\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-3\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-3.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5190\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-4\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sierra-vista-butterfly-pollination-station-4.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second grade students at Sierra Vista Elementary School raised butterflies to release into the school&#8217;s pollination station on campus.
