Science Class

The girls came over to see what remains of our Giant Swallowtail Caterpillar colony - three were around last night and this morning Becca could only find one. Two hours after the TriPrices swirled out of here, there were no signs of the last one even. It was precious - the girls asked about chrysalis stage and guessed where the missing caterpillars had gone... then jumped up and down with excitement until we went outside to find them.

Even Madeleine who came over late last week, asked to return on Saturday morning to see Aunt Memmily's caterpillars... and remembered exactly where they were in the backyard!

Oh, the excitement!

We have found one chrysalis but that's it. Hopefully they are just heading off to form their cocoons and not getting picked off by neighborhood owls. Looking forward to butterfly watching...
