These caterpillars are shedding their skins.  They are also making webs.   They are growing and growing and growing.  Caterpillars grow a lot in only one or two days.

This caterpillar up at the top is not growing as fast as the other caterpillars.  It is still tiny.  We know it is alive because it is squirming around.  I thought it was dead but it wasn’t dead.

I wonder if the caterpillars are going to get bigger.  I also wonder how many more days until they make their chrysalis.  I guess it will take five days.  We have had them for five days.  I am excited to keep the chrysalis after they get out of it.  What color do you think the chrysalis will be?  I think it will be brownish grayish.  It is going to be a painted lady butterfly.  I don’t know what their (the butterflies) colors will be.
