Gulf Fritillaries

We were over at our grandparents house the other day and the kids wanted to collect some caterpillars. So grandma being the outdoorsy one she is runs inside for a butterfly box:) We collected 4 caterpillars and some passion fruit plants for them to eat. The kids didn't understand the fact that it takes a few days to weeks for the transformation to occur. They were pleasantly surprised because on the second day one caterpillar turned into a crysalis! Not sure I spelled that correctly but you get the idea! We now have 2 in that stage and are waiting for the other 2 to turn:) Hopefully we will see the Gulf Fritillaries soon:)

Forming...


First crysalis

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my son. He is so excited! My daughter starts in a few weeks and she is a little sad that she has to wait! I can't wait to see him tomorrow:) Everything is laid out for a smooth morning...hopefully:)
