Hanging on for grim life

One of our wee tackers came running up to me in my year 9 class today to tell me that I had to come down to their class with my camera. I duly did so (although with Tina's camera and macro lens). the excitement was the new birth of a monarch butterfly.
The year 2/3 class have got a bug table going along with their monarch chrysalids and are keeping a close eye on them. Their teacher knows what a sucker I am for a butterfly so had sent for me :-)
Lots of photos taken!

I like this one because the poor bemused butterfly is hanging on for grim life until it warms up and flies away from the noisy classroom
