Ok, just wanted to share what we’ve been doing lately. Sarah was over one day with the babies and we were outside. Sarah found a caterpillar and we kept it in Ethan’s disposable sippy cup. Sure enough it was a Monarch caterpillar! So we have carefully watched it eat and make it’s chrysalis and then this morning we noticed that it had turned colors and you could see the wings a bit. Sure enough by 10 am we had a just hatched Monarch! Emily has had a great time watching this and made a bigger box for it to fly in.
She is doing a bug collection for science this fall but isn’t convinced she should include her new found friend! So we will have to see how the saga of the Monarch turns out! I’ll try to post pictures later. It has been really interesting to watch!
