We noticed something very exciting this morning.  Two of our caterpillars had turned into cocoons.  “If we have 2 caterpillars and 2 cocoons – how many do we have altogether? ”   -Greta was asked. Without a second’s hesitation she said,”Four!”  Clever girl!

James noticed that the cocoons actually look smaller than the caterpillars.  “Maybe they curl up really small!” he said.  We noticed that there was a lot of spider’s web type silk in the jar and we thought they might wrap themselves up in it.  We are going to watch the other two very carefully to see how they become cocoons.
