HABAB. Hurry and become a butterfly. ha ha. Girls got these caterpillars in the mail. We ordered them online. I do not like creepy crawly things but the girls are in love with their caterpillars. They have named each one. I named mine HABAB. They have already tripled in size in the last three days alone!!! Crazy.
They will live in these small containers and eat the food on the bottom. Then in about a week's time they will form a crysallis on the top cover. That's when we carefully lift off the cover and place it in a butterfly cage (basically an overpriced laundry hamper with mesh sides). And them in another week's time they will emerge as Painted Lady Butterflies. Wish us luck.
Here is a video of what is suppose to happen. It's not the company that we ordered it from but same idea.
