We are learning about the Leap class family. We got caterpillars about 10 days ago in the mail. We did not find them as fascinating to watch as the ants but the kids did get grossed out at all the poop in the cup. After about 7 days the caterpillars crawled to the top of the cup and molted into a chrysalis. Shelby LOVED watching this process. She quickly grabbed her Encyclopedia to learn all about the Pupa stage of the Butterfly. She was excited to learn that moths spin into a cacoon and that butterfly's actually molt to get to the pupa stage. Once the chrysalis hardened I moved the paper they were on into our habitat. We can't wait to see them become butterfly's.
