During Week 3 we learned about insects and received a cup of caterpillars. We watched them eat, get bigger and bigger and form a chrysalis where they would transform.
We waited and watched and on Monday, they began to emerge!
As each opened up, we watched them closely, observing the proboscis (their straw-like tongue), noted the symmetry of their wings and their two antennae. We then let them go!
They were friendly little buggers and sat on Mr. Danny's finger and another on mine before flying into the garden.
