Thank you, Duketh. He has wings now. He emerged last week and flew on his way. The children were in awe. Too cute to watch. I also became quite smitten with the entire process. His chrysalis is gorgeous. The color green fantasy are made from and he spins a golden seal about 3/4 up that proves there is a higher power working. Amazing!! I should have you catch one and watch him work. You’d love it.
I love this. I love caterpillars. I wonder what it is like to be a creepy crawly caterpillar and then one day you can just soar. How cool would that be!!!!
*places hanky to eyes* *smiles* Thank you ma’am for understanding my feminine side. I always get that way when a woman is standing beside me *chuckles*
*pats your back* Let it out, Cowboy. You poets are adorable when you’re feelings are hurt. I don’t see how I could have created such a response, however…
*stops* *extends arm down to lift you up* Let’s ride. Goodnight Audrey and thank you for another lovely evening just the two of us has shared *chuckles* Say goodnight Audrey
I’m reserving my “Awww” until I hear whether this little guy is a friend or foe! Everybody needs to eat, but if he’s destroying good plants, well, he’s not worth my approbation!
He’s a friend!! He turns into a beautiful Monarch butterfly, and did in my classroom this year. He produced many a smile, Debbie. You would have loved to see the stages emerging…so lovely.
Yes, they both made it successfully, John. We released them just shortly before school let out. It was so fun to watch. Monarch butterflies are my favorite. These little creatures make the most beautiful chrysalis I’ve ever seen.
This is a caterpillar, Susan. The non flying kind. We successfully grew two in our classroom from caterpillar to butterfly. Monarch to be exact. A lovely process, you know. I bet you’ve seen this with your schooling background. No jumping, promise. Lots of eating…giggles. My kind of creature. Chomp chomp…
I love it when teachers have critters in the classroom. My fourth grade teacher had a small zoo in our classroom. There was a turtle on her desk, guppies in an aquarium in the back of the classroom and an aquarium (dry) with several grass snakes. It served me well when I got older and taught 4th grade. When the boys would hand me snakes and such I picked it up and admired it and then told them to return them into the wild. I did have some hermit crabs, but if I had known then what I know now I would not choose that particular creature.
Yes, well, a hermit crab is better off played with at the beach and left to enjoy life. Learned the hard way with that one. 😉 Classrooms with a bit of science is always good. However, when it smells like a farm…gotta take that stuff outside. 🙂
Monarch. We’ve successfully birthed two new ones this year in our classroom. Dozens from around the school. It was a joy to see them go from stage to stage. Their cacoon has this gorgeous green tint to it (talk about jewel tone!! Like a fabrege egg, only better, they spin this golden seal that is awe inspiring. So cool! Yes, Shari, tis what I’m thinking, as well. So smart, you. ♡♡ xx
