Finally a butterfly, after 12 long days

For Princess Chelsea, the best sight to set her eyes on, on Saturday early morning was a curious butterfly flapping its wings around. This amazing sight was enough to drive any unwanted morning crankiness far away.

After 12 days of waiting, our little pupa exited from its cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly. Its cocoon had just turned black the day before.

Princess enthusiastically wanted to feed our little butterfly some cheese after hearing Daddy Tiong’s explanation of setting it free so that it could find some food [nectar].

We set it free in the gardens downstairs. This was such a great experience. Thank you, little butterfly, for showing us the beauty of life.
