Butterflies took flight for their first time thanks to dedicated Langley residents.
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the City of Langley Library held its fourth annual butterfly release on Thursday, May 25.
Hundreds of butterflies were released by kids and library staff.
Sandeep Khaira, community librarian and supervisor, said it was great to see kids come and learn about the butterfly’s life cycle.
“Whoever came to the library would look at the butterflies and watch their circle of life, it was very popular,” she said.
Caring for the butterflies was a team effort of nursing them as caterpillars before they turned into cocoons. Less than a week later, the cocoons “hatched” and butterflies appeared.
The butterfly release is for all ages, drop in attendance, and occurs annually at the library.
