This is "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". They are about 2 inches long, and 13 days old. They look like twins. Hey, you never know, they could be brothers! After all, couldn't both of their eggs come from the same butterfly? (See "Did you know" in "More of the Monarchs") :-)
Tiny is getting ready to make his Chrysalis! It's about 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. We are very excited because we will be able to watch the caterpillar change!!! Daddy was hoping to see it make the chrysalis, but he had to go to work before it changed.
Here we are! Tiny built a new house! :-) Notice the gold specks, the black and gold line, and the shiny black stem up top that keeps the chrysalis from falling. It is so small and skinny, it's amazingly strong enough to hold the chrysalis up there!
In the next post, there will be a surprise! I think you will find it very interesting!
