#30dayswild Day 6: Caterpillars
Today tiny painted lady caterpillars arrived in a
small clear cup from InsectLore. P is very excited to have her own pets! The stuff in the bottom of the cup is
their food, and it provides them with everything they need. All we have to do is observe them grow! The caterpillars will remain in the cup and will eat, spin silk and grow
to TEN times their original size! After seven to ten days they will
hang upside down and harden into chrysalides (chrysalides are also known
as pupae).
