Our caterpillars 2015

Our caterpillars arrived by post last Monday, the 18th of May.
Last week our caterpillars were exactly like the caterpillars in the song:

There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf, wiggle, wiggle

There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf, wiggle, wiggle

There's a tiny caterpillar, a tiny caterpillar

There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf, wiggle, wiggle

This week (May 25th) they are like the second verse:

There's a big fat caterpillar on a leaf, munch, munch

There's a big fat caterpillar on a leaf, munch, munch

There's a big fat caterpillar, a big fat caterpillar

There's a big fat caterpillar on a leaf, munch, munch

Our caterpillars at 2 weeks (June 3rd)

Our first cocoon (June 4th)

The caterpillar spins a cocoon, spin spin

The caterpillar spins a cocoon, spin spin

The caterpillar spins, the caterpillar spins

The caterpillar spins a cocoon, spin spin

One of our 5 caterpillars is now in its cocoon.
Cocoons in our butterfly garden: (June 9th)

All 5 of our caterpillars are now in their cocoons.

We gave each cocoon a name before transferring it to our butterfly garden.

We can't wait for all of our cocoons to emerge as beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.
