Colt brought a little green caterpillar home from school one day, made a habitat for it, and told me he wanted to watch it change into a butterfly. This kid loves science. I was skeptical, but encouraged him to go for it. He gave it some nice green leaves (which it ate holes through), then sure enough it formed a chrysalis. We tried to research and find out for what kind of butterfly (or moth) it would turn into and how long it would take to come out – we didn’t want to miss it! From our research we thought it would take around 2 weeks and be a White Cabbage Butterfly. Well, 2 weeks passed. . . then 3 weeks. . . then 4 weeks. . . and honestly, we stopped watching it. Then one day, Colt noticed there was a butterfly in his habitat! It was quite exciting for us all to say the least.
