metamorphosis

We are in the midst of growing some butterflies. Our ten caterpillars arrived in the mail last week. Addelyn was excited about the little crawlers. She named a few of them- "Worm, Crawler, and Poops A Lot." She likes to check on them each day and the things she has noticed so far is that they like to sleep, crawl, and poop. They are starting to spin silk and hang themselves from the tops of the jars so we will be watching as they build their cocoons. From there we transfer them to the Butterfly Pavillion and will get to see ten beautiful butterflies hatch (so we hope!) To be continued.....
