So a few days ago Henry had was assigned to find a caterpillar for science and to bring it in. Jen stressed out and couldn't find one, so I went looking and found three. A woolly bear, a cabbage white, and a monarch. He brought in all three and brought home two. (We still have the in a jar on my window.) The monarch stayed. I have had four people come in and independently tell me about the story of Henry's caterpillar and how it has turned into a chrysalis. I guess at some point they all got out. Some of them dehydrated and died. Someone poured water on one and killed it. Henry's has survived. How they knew it was his... who knows. But its transforming now and Henry's psyched. I am actually seeing the little guys all over the place now. There are also these white ones that I haven't seen before. Henry told me this morning that they are web caterpillars and that I shouldn't touch them. He is getting to the point in his knowledge now that I am starting to believe him..... I guess I will have to look into that one.
