Little Worm

Ellie has a new pet.

It's a Caterpillar, (I made her give up the frog of last week, due to my fear of accidental release in my kitchen).

She has named her colorful little fellow "little worm". It's a Monarch Butterfly caterpillar. Barry says he hasn't seen one since he was a kid, I don't know if I ever have. This little guy eats milkweed at an alarming rate, and doesn't seem to mind living in captivity. We have no shortage of milkweed around here, so I think he's going to be very happy

We'll keep you updated on it's development or decease.
