Thanks to Sabrina & her mom & Nicholas & his grandfather.......... Oh boy, do we have caterpillars!! 18 of them to be exact, all munching & crunching away on milkweed leaves. After a week or so, each caterpillar began to make its chrysalis.For t

When we checked today, Sabrina had 2 butterflies just emerge this morning - their wings were still wet! Once their wings have had time to dry, we will set them free.

Nicholas's chrysalis are still in their light green stage, but any day they should be turning "dark".
