A few weeks ago I found this caterpillar on the floor in my kitchen. Brody was really excited about this little creature so we put him in a jar to watch for a few days. I thought he would probably die or I would let him out once the interest died down. The kids loved watching the caterpillar. After about a week I was cleaning the kitchen and I looked in the jar and this little guy was making a caccoon. I watched him for a day or two to make sure he wasn't actually just dead. I decided to be patient and just wait to see what happened. The kids and I watched closely everyday to see if there were any changes. After about three weeks this is what we saw in the jar.
I know it is just a moth, but it was a really fun thing for the kids to see and watch happen! We let our little friend free in the freezing weather. I felt really bad about that. I wasn't really sure what else to do.
Goodbye sweet caterpillar!!!
