It's that time again... when a butterfly hatches her eggs on our milk weed and caterpillars begin to grow. We had seven caterpillars on the milk weed the other day and now we only have 5 crystallises. One caterpillar died today, I think Zachary touched it a little too much. Carlee was heartbroken when I took it off the side of the pot and buried it under some leaves. Now that I think about it, I probably should have waited to do that when she wasn't looking because she cried. I nearly lost it myself. We get so attached to these little caterpillars. I feel like their mama. We're looking forward to seeing them transform into butterflies.
