SOOoooooooo............ about a month ago (I think?) the kids came running in with these two caterpillars that were on our lemon tree and looked just like bird poop (sorry for the crudeness :) ). Well, we've kept caterpillars before and let them build their cacoon and then they turned into moths - cool, but a little boring. Jamie brought one home from school in 1st grade that turned into a butterfly, but it was ordered. So, we were excited when we found this one this afternoon and it had turned into a beautiful butterfly!!! The thing in the foreground above is the second one - it still has a few days. Isn't it pretty? Below is it's new container because the other one was too small, and some cottonball nectar for it to drink. Fun little science project - you never know what you'll get!
