Anyhow, the children received a butterfly kit last week, including a voucher to send off for caterpillars. The eldest was delighted as they have been doing this at school. They were met with great excitement and the butterfly enclosure was swiftly furnished with food and home comforts, despite there being no actual caterpillars, butterflies or cocoons in there. And after much batting about of the enclosure, it has found a home, a hook that has been in the ceiling since we arrived. I am so glad to find a use for it! The caterpillars arrived on Saturday, 3 days ago and have been sitting in an appropriate place (warm, not too hot not too cold, sunny but not direct sun) and today I noticed they have started their journey up their little pots. Apparently they will climb up to the lid and hang in U shapes under the lid for a bit. Very exciting. :-)
