It's kind of one big Backyard Bug Adventure around here. Every day it's kind of a mystery about what will be in the bug cage by the end of the day.
Today we hit the jackpot…a caterpillar. A fuzzy, adorable caterpillar. (Who poops green, if you'd like to know.) Neko is determined to see it through to a butterfly, so with some help from What's That Bug, we determined that we have a Wooly Bear caterpillar on our hands. It eats milkweed and will turn into a Tiger Moth if we can keep it alive. So we've decked out to bug cage in sticks and dirt and delicious leaves.
Cross your fingers.
