Follow the journey of the Holy Cross Caterpillars to butterflies!

20th May 2019

Look at their furry bodies!

Day 1. Measuring 1cm

We counted 5 caterpillars.

We gave them names......! Michelle, Peanut, Mr Wiggle, Rose,

Caterpillars have 16 legs. The front legs have hooks which they use to walk on the silk like a ladder!

Day 4. They measured 1.5cms with 2 huge, black beady eyes.

Day 7 Wow! Have they got fatter and longer? 7 more days before they move to the top to form chrysalides.

Day 7. Definitely hungry caterpillars. We measured them at over 2 cams. Look at the silky web. They have also been shedding their exoskeleton!
