All right.......back in August we went to visit our Mimi in Abilene. The kids were very excited when they found a ton of caterpillars crawling all over Mimi's parsley and chives. So excited that they wanted to bring some home with them. I have to admit, I was not happy about transporting 3 caterpillars across Texas, but I do love my kids! The caterpillars spun cocoons after about two weeks of domestic bliss in our household. Here is a shot of one of the butterflies after hatching from his cocoon. We all got a kick out of the process and letting it go was really cool! I am thinking maybe tadpoles/frogs next!
