A new friend...

The girls found a monarch caterpillar on the 4th of July up at Doug's parents place.  He was pretty large, so I knew it wouldn't be long.  Sure enough, by Thursday afternoon he was all tight in his cocoon.  

He didn't pick the best place to hang himself up.  The net does have a zipper so once his chrysalis is nice and hard I can unzip it to photograph him better!  The girls are excited...Monarchs are definitely our favorites to watch change over!

That is so fun! The kids here want to find a monarch caterpillar so bad. They got to see a bunch of moths turn into cocoons and then even watch them hatch out. It was soo neat!
