for easter, grammy and grandpa bought hayden and holland this butterfly and ladybug kit from insect lore. the caterpillars and ladybugs arrived in the mail last week and hayden is having so much fun keeping a close eye on the bugs!
we check on them throughout the day because they are constantly changing. our 4 caterpillars eat, spin silk and grow like crazy. they are currently entering the chrysalids stage and will soon be butterflies!
holland with her ladybugs!
the ladybugs have 4 stages of life (had no idea) and they arrived really tiny and one morning were really big! we can't wait until they become red ladybugs and release them into our
garden.
hayden and his very own cocoon- mom and dad's pillow!
it's been a totally great experience and recommend it. you can re-order more bugs and do it all again! we have been reading "the very hungry caterpillar" by eric carle and will keep you posted on our metamorphasis...
