5 New Pets

Box they arrived in…and they are caterpillars. They are between 18 mm and 20 mm (2 cm) long! they are Painted Lady Butterflies. We found them two days ago in a box in the mail! Momma ordered them for Science. Momma thought we would enjoy it.

They live in a container so far. The brown stuff is their food. They are eating, growing, and spinning webs. (I don’t know why. Maybe to hang their cocoons?) They like to crawCaterpillers at homel around.
