This teeny, tiny caterpillar was eating up my sunflower leaves, so we decided to bring it inside and hopefully watch it metamorph into a butterfly or moth.
Exactly one day after bringing him in, he started to make his cocoon! 
Notice the silk threads around him...that means it will be a moth.
It took a little over a week and one morning this came out of the cocoon!
We put him back out on the sunflower leaves so his wings could dry and he happily flew away later that morning.
My girls loved seeing the pictures of your "friend..." What did you have him in when he was in his cocoon?
ReplyDeleteIt was actually a ladybug house. We were about to go and get a stick to put in there, but I guess the corner suited it well!
