My How They've Grown!

We've had our "callerpitters" for a week now and I am so amazed at how much they have grown! Joshua is enjoying checking on the progress of growth and even Jacob gets excited when I bring him close to look. The "callerpitters" have been spending a lot of time at the top of the cup so I'm sure any day now they will begin their transformation into cocoons. It will take 1 - 2 days for them to make the cocoons.

It's been very hard to get a quality picture the last few days. I think the webbing and frass (poop) is getting in the way because I'm getting a lot of blurry pictures! But enjoy these ones...they were the best I was able to get!




Meanwhile, we went to the park with Cheri and her boys yesterday and found a butterfly! Joshua and Kai were chasing it around whenever it came near. After Cheri left the park, we wandered over to another area and the found the butterfly resting on a ladder. Joshua tried convincing me that it was one of our butterlies.
