Caterpillar Season

So here is our latest science project at the York's household. We caught a fuzzy caterpillar (now is the time to capture them!) and put it in a jar with branches, fresh leaves, and a lid with holes. At the library, we checked out a book on caterpillars and researched how to care for one. They get their water from fresh leaves, not by drinking like we do! We're going to see the caterpillar go into "hibernation" and build its "cocoon" and then in the spring, we get to see it transform into a butterfly! Readan and Dallas' vocabulary is well advanced for their age. :) When our caterpillar forms its cocoon we'll add more pictures!
