Sydney got a container of live caterpillars from Aiden for her 4th birthday. They come in a jar with food and just eat until they form cocoons by attaching themselves to a little paper disk at the top of the jar. We then moved this to another mesh container about the size of a beach ball and waited for them to hatch. Unfortunately, hatching takes about a second so we missed the process of hatching for them. Eventually we let them loose in the garden by unzipping the top of the container. Most just flew away but the one in the picture hung out and let us take a few pictures of him. Butterfiles are fun!
