Little Monarch Caterpillars


Once upon a time there was a little egg on a leaf. Then one day it hatched!


We're going to be reading "The Hungry Caterpillar" a few times during the upcoming days, I'm sure. Here's one of the other caterpillars that was already hatched. So cute!


Why is it that we love and are awed by some creatures, and others we deem worthy of death. This morning as we were oo-ing and aw-ing over our cute baby caterpillars, I saw an earwig scurrying away on the floor next to us and Abi promptly got a tissue and squished it.

  1. This may make an excellent companion to go a long with your "butterfly" experience. It's worth watching http://vimeo.com/17150524
