Mrs Whitmarsh's Caterpillar Diaries - part 2!

Well, I never realised how quickly caterpillars grew!

When they arrived, they were like little dots in their home, and ever since they seem to have been doubling in size every day!

On Wednesday they looked like this:

And then this morning, they looked like this - it's hard to see from the photo, but they are developing a furry, cotton wool-like material around them...

...so I think they must be getting near the stage where they are ready to form a chrysalis!

There's a great video here that shows different types of caterpillar turning into butterflies. There is no narration so you could become the next David Attenborough and use it to write your own butterfly life-cycle voice-over!

I'll update you next week on the next set of changes!
