McKinley has pupatated !!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, he started spinning a “web”. Adrian says “a spider web”. The web lets him hang up high. Then he hung upside down and turned into a “J” shape. Momma noticed McKinley was in a “J” at 10:00 last night.
This morning, he looked like he was “nodding off to sleep”. Then it looked like he was biting one of his legs and puulllinggg. Soon he stopped doing that and was just puullinggg.
Then it looked like his head slit open and his brain was green. Then it looked like he was getting out of a stripped sleeping bag. It looked like he was pushing the sleeping bag off toward his feet. Then he was all green.
So in about 11 days –around the 10th–(Miss Ginger’s Birthday)– he should hatch into a butterfly! We will know when he will hatch because his chrysalis will turn clear and then he starts shaking!
Can you guess why we named him McKinley?
