Adoption day Number: 1

What does the Painted Lady look like?
Our Painted Ladies are itty bitty caterpillars! They are the about length of rice and about half its width. They look so furry and prickly at the same time.

What are they doing?
David brought them into the office in the after noon and they were just lying there not doing much. As the day went on, the sun began to set and the office became really warm. The computer monitors and as the other office equipment began to warm up, the caterpillars became more lively. They began to scrape the food from the bottom of the cup and also create a web- sort of like a spider. Tiny black dots began to appear- I think that is there poop! The caterpillars are suspended from their web.

What do you think they will look like next time?
I think they will be the same.
