The caterpillar


The caterpillars have been active in gobbling up our garden this year. I can never seem to find them. Ethan and Eric were pulling the eaten leaves off the basil plant, when Ethan found one. He was so proud of the little wiggly guy on the leaf. Andrew got a jar and poked holes in the lid for him.And then Elizabeth (having studied caterpillars in school recently) got to work on a proper habitat. Poor thing didn't last 24 hours, with all the jar shaking, poking, and carrying around it had to deal with. haha served him right, don't mess with my basil.

Don't mess with your basil, indeed! Too funny! Looks like you're all doing well. I sure miss you all!
