When I last
left off the caterpillars were very small and they ate so much they got big
over the time of about a week. Now let me share with you what happed next.
Once they where nice and fat they
finally hung there chrysalides* on a special paper under the lid of the
container. The whole process from start to finish took about two weeks. It took
two days for all five of them to go into their chrysalides*. Two of the caterpillars
wrapped themselves up in their cocoon the first day and the other three
cocooned over night and throughout the next day.
After all the caterpillars were
snug in there new homes, I taped them (and pined to make sure they wouldn’t
fall down) to the side of the cage. Now the hardest part comes waiting……..
I hope you will follow along as I raise my five beautiful butterflies. I
will be adding more posts soon.
