Little G has watched over first his 10 caterpillars, then his cocoons, and now his little babies are hatching. Yesterday before I left to get him from day camp there was one newly hatched painted lady butterfly, by the time we got home there was one more and then before we went to bed there was another. When we got up there was one more for a total of 4. By noon today there were 2 more (if you're keeping count that's 6). This process should slow down a bit now, since some of the caterpillars just made cocoons a couple of days ago.
UPDATE: the last of the cocoons hatched this morning! I guess some caterpillars just don't take much time to transform into Butterflies.
