We adopted three caterpillars a few weeks ago. Paisley got the kit for Christmas and was so thrilled when they came in the mail.
They started out about 1/2" big
and ate and grew and ate and grew to almost about 3" in a only a week
This picture was right after the first one made its cacoon.
and after about a week our butterflies hatched during church yesterday
and the 3rd little guy came out this morning.
P has been feeding her Monarchs strawberries and sugar water and is going to let them go outside in a couple days. Paisley LOVED the caterpillars and was their trusty guardian. She checked them as soon as she woke up and before each meal every day. The butterflies emerging was just the icing on the cake...so worth doing if you have little kids:)
