A few weeks ago....Ben was at the kitchen sink and saw a caterpillar on the outside wall. He went out and brought it in for the girls to put in their 'bug jar.' Within 24 hours it was already in it's chrysalis/coccoon! We were soo excited! But week after week, we began to wonder if it was still alive! Well, this morning, this is what we found!!!!!!!
She was HUGE! Her wings wouldn't open all of the way in the jar, so we took her outside and let her out. She spread her wings and they were still wet, so she must of just hatched!!
We watched her as she moved her wings and eventually flew up to a nearby bush,
and then flapped her wings and flew away!
It was quite the adventerous morning!!!
