We recently brought home a Milkweed plant from our awesome local nursery. I seriously could spend hours there, and way too much pocket greenery as well, but I digress. We transplanted our little plant into a bigger pot, and a bit later Olivia called me out to see what she found:

I know, very hard to see (sorry for the blurry shot!), but this is just for size comparison... |
A little, stripey caterpillar- he was so cute! We carefully put him back on the plant so he could do his thing. We checked a few days later and didn't see anything. But...today! Today Olivia found her little friend again. This time, he wasn't so little!

| So much bigger! |
We are excited to have gotten a cute little Monarch butterfly caterpillar with our plant. It will be fun to continue to watch him grow, and then transform into a beautiful butterfly. We hope he stays happy and healthy! We'll keep you posted!

Nice stripes on that new friend!
ReplyDeleteAren't the stripes the best?! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! I hope you were able to see him become a butterfly.
ReplyDeleteMiss you BT. Hope all is well.
