The makings of a Butterfly!


The kids found this baby Monarch caterpillar while hanging out
with PaPa this last week. The fed it milkweed everyday.

Soon the Caterpillar got pretty big and starting crawling around the top
of the ice cream bucket that they had him in.



Papa put him into the spider plant *yes a houseplant* and the next morning
there was this hanging there! Beautiful...

We now have three cocoons and two more caterpillars that will soon be changing.
I am hoping to capture the progress of this. Brooke informed me that the butterfly book said we have to wait 10 days. It is marked on the calendar!


Next post hopefully a butterfly!
