Today, Daddy and I went to do the trash and then got some milkweed.
Momma helped me feed the caterpillars. We moved a lot to the aquarium.
I had to bury two dead ones today. One medium caterpillar who was sick a few days (Momma had put in quarantine) and one newly formed chrysalis.
Running Total:
Lost: 9, one after forming chrysalis, three butterfly just before emerging, four caterpillars and two moldy eggs.
Butterflies Released: 39
Soon to be Released: 0
Chrysalises: 6
Roaming Caterpillars: 3
Caterpillars in large cage almost ready to roam: 6
Eggs: 4
I have a medium caterpillar and a very small caterpillar and maybe an egg. I thought I had another egg, bu think it fell off the leaf after I picked it, so maybe it wasn’t good. I have had the bigger caterpillar for several days and it has grown a lot. Be sure to take it home with you today.
Love,
Oma
