Caterpillars Escape


Monday morning we found that the leaves of the swan plant are all gone. The caterpillars had been doing some serious eating over the weekend. We found caterpillars all over the classroom. Two are at the top of the curtain and one near the roof by the door. They might be looking for food or finding a place to make a chrysalis. We still have pumpkin for them to eat but they don't seem interested. The caterpillars keep growing!
The other major news is the chrysalis has opened up and the butterfly has escaped. We didn't find the butterfly for ages but Lilah and Ella saw it sitting on the top window. Mrs Geary opened the window and the butterfly flew away. The butterfly was beautiful  it was black and orange.
As we have been writing this blog one of the caterpillars on the curtain has turned into a chrysalis.
