Metamophorsis - Mr Green

my mom estimates this to be 8 days old

We're really lucky to be living among such greenery at home.

Thanks to my mother - she's got the green fingers.

We found a couple of caterpillars on our lime plant in the garden.

One's turned into a cocoon and one's still a fat caterpillar - he's still green and is literally an eating machine.

We've decided to keep him and feed him as much as he needs so we can observe and share his growth with everyone. Nate's excited but a little squirmish about it right now.

Now that we've a child at home, we've become more sesitive to things around us that we often take for granted. He's never seen a caterpillar in his life.. And he's really into butterflies. Now at least he can see how they come about.

Stay tuned for our updates and pictures.
