And then there was a beautiful butterfly…err moth
Well one of our caterpillar finally emerged from its cocoon. Looks like my identification was wrong (not surprising) since it turned into a beautiful brown moth.
As promised my youngest daughter dressed up in her butterfly costume to teach the baby moth how to fly.
After a few minutes of doing jumping jacks to demonstrate the moth figured things out and fly away to freedom.
