Our caterpillar saga has ended! The moth emerged from the chrysalis a couple days ago! It happened in the night so we didn't get to see it as it was happening, but it was still exciting!!!! We are not sure what kind of moth it is because it does not look like what we thought it would look like. (there are photos of it at the end of this post) Any ideas? Let us know!!! This is in conclusion to
Our Caterpillar Journey post from last week if you want to check that out...it is

What nature journeys have you been on with your children???
We did this in the summer too. It is so amazing to watch the life cycle.
ReplyDeleteYour darling is such a talented artist. I can't believe the detail she puts into her work.
We did this to a few weeks back but the caterpillar didn't look anything like that! We have a butterfly kit now that were waiting to come out =)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! My kids would love to do this, but I hate bugs!! That fuzzy caterpillar creeps me out. I know, sad but true.
