Over the weekend we found a caterpillar in the yard. The girls we so excited and decided to name the caterpillar Penelope. After gently holding her for a while they decided to put her in the 'bug catcher home'.
Penelope needs lots of food so the girl went around the whole yard and picked at least one (usually a few) of each kind of leaf.
Penelope, a Woolly Bear Caterpillar, was curled up in a ball and I told the girls if they left her a lone she might start crawling. The girls set up an observation station the garage, complete with snacks and drinks. After a while the caterpillar did start yo move around.
We did let the girls keep her one night and the next morning we let her go.
