Our Own Little Eco System

We've been collecting bugs and caterpillars regularly and Drew releases them "to return to their families" each day. Well, yesterday we made a lovely home for two caterpillars in our bug jar. Loaded with leaves, grass, sticks, and sprayed with fresh water, I thought they'd at least survive one night in captivity. Well, much to our surprise, these little guys made a cocoon overnight!!

Today two new caterpillars were added to the family. So we have two cocoons and two roaming caterpillars. I can't wait to see what we've got in there tomorrow!!
