About a week ago I blogged about a video I made, as one of our seven caterpillars made it into a Chrysalis. We have one guy who has quadrupled in size who has still not gone into his Cocoon, but he’s eating like crazy and doubled in size overnight, so I’m pretty sure it’s inevitable in the next 12-24 hours.
However, my kids got to come home to the first Chrysalis having cracked open and emerged a beautiful creature. Click to enlarge them if you want.
Yes, I realize this is not food related. Well, it is if you consider how much FOOD they ate before they went into the Chrysalis. lol But isn’t she pretty?!

Lovely! I do love looking at butterflies, but not the caterpillars. I have phobia with them.
