Before Our Eyes
The boys found some monarch caterpillars in the yard the other day and claimed them for pets. Today they saw one molt, creating a chrysalis around itself, right before their eyes. We knew once it started hanging upside down, like a "J" (it's called pupation), that we were in for a treat. We just didn't think it would put on a such a show for us. It will just hang out there for the next couple of weeks until it's change into a monarch butterfly, or metamorphosis, is complete and it's ready to fly.
