Raising Butterflies

Soren's caterpillars are growing at an astonishing rate. They are probably 5 times the size they were when we got them on Monday (which has me convinced that the special food in their container is made of Milk Duds.) They say that we can expect them to climb to the top and form cocoons within seven to ten days, so that should happen this week. Fascinating!

  1. Hmmm...I think we'll have to try the butterflies next. Our sea monkeys finally hatched, but they are so tiny we can barely see them. It's been super exciting around here though. I can only imagine if what we were growing was actually discernable with the naked eye!!
