Caterpillars munched our Brussel sprout plant 🐛

The children were amazed at how many green caterpillars had set up home in the planter. We counted at least 22 little cuties. We plan to monitor them Dail to observe any changes.

Some of the boys wanted to find out what kind of caterpillars we had found, which then led to spiders, grasshoppers, beetles and then snakes. Their use of vocabulary was fantastic as they shared their knowledge.
