One of the dads at Neko’s school is involved in Monarch Watch, a program dedicated to the conservation and research of monarch butterflies. At the back-to-school picnic, he made sure every child could took home a caterpillar (or six) to watch the process up close and personal.
When the butterflies emerge, the kids can bring them to school to be tagged before they are released. I brought our new friends to school when I picked up Neko. They were tagged, but, um, not released.
Tomorrow, someone has promised me. You know, after she’s done loving them.
