    What a cool thing to do! Never seen the life cycle followed in a jar before, and great that your daughter could follow the process.

    How neat! I've never done that before. But I do let the caterpillars eat my herbs -- at least they have good taste. :)

    Oh Honey is Beautiful! Congratulations Becky (aka Butterfly Mom, LOL)!! I remember collecting monarch caterpillars with my children in the late summers and putting them in an aquarium with lots of milkweed. I can't believe how much they eat!! Once we collected a catepillar that was on a Dill plant, so we put lots of dill in the aquarium for it to eat. It's chrysalis looked different and didn't have the gold decoration. It turned out to be a Swallowtail. Equally as beautiful as the Monarch, but Brilliant Blue and Black. That was a fun surprise!

    congrats moms! :) how much fun is that? I'll have to show it to the boys for sure- we had a little friend called "Flutter" - he was injured and stayed with us for several days before passing on- we like to think we helped make Flutters last days happier! :)
