Our Caterpillars!

When the caterpillars arrived Miss Jessica had to carefully transfer each TINY caterpillar to a separate containers using the end of a small paintbrush.

The caterpillars were not easily convinced they wanted to leave their home.

There were 40 caterpillars in that small container!

Over the next week they grew very quickly!

 Between Day 8 and 10 they began to hang in their J shape from the tops of the containers!

All 40 caterpillars are now inside their chrysalis and we are waiting patiently for them to emerge!

We think the first ones should emerge by the end of this week!

Did you know that ALL 40 of them have names?

Here they are:

(Each child has their own caterpillar so they first 18 names they each picked for thier caterpillar- they know their caterpillars number.  The others we picked as a group!)
