remember this post, when we mailed off for a secret surprise...
Well, the twins have been waiting for the mailman to bring our fun day.. and he did!
 |
We sent off for some very hungry caterpillars..
We got 5.
(however 4 of them were dead from heat and being sent, but I called and they will be sending more, because they guarantee that you will get 5)
First he was the size of the length of a dime.
 |
We have watched him grow and eat, and eat and grow...
and became the size of a quarter and a nickel lengthwise.
 |
He spun webs of silk to help him move around the bigger he got, and then he crawled to the top of the jar...
 |
And...
 |
So we have been waiting for him to finish making his cocoon.
Yesterday, day 64, was transfer day..
 |
| I love this picture because I look possessed, and Berkleigh is SOO excited! |
 |
| I love this picture because Berkleigh is flapping her arms like a butterfly, and Merrick looks concerned that I am touching the caterpillar because I burned that into their heads that they couldn't touch our caterpillar friend while he was growing. |
 |
We pinned him into our butterfly garden...
 |
And here is the happy family, minus Tyson playing photog.
