Short Update Today
Today three of my younger cousins, ages ten, seven, and three, were eager to see my caterpillars. I was asked a million questions, one of which was "Do you need new leaves?" And at first I thought I didn't. Then I realized just how wilted they already were from the heat. One from yesterday was even crispy! It was very frustrating, but my little helpers were willing to go out with me for food. They were excellent at finding good plants, and we soon had plenty of new food for my growing group. Speaking of growing, I accidentally brought in another egg! The count is at twelve. Everyone is healthy.
One little guy after shedding. "That's gross!" My helpers said.
A lighter colored friend wondering where all the food is.
Not much left to say, not much has changed. Hopefully the heat passes soon and my milkweed lasts more than a day. I like observing and having fun, not nervously watching their food supply! Another update tomorrow :)
