Caterpillar in cocoons

Monday, May 24th, 2010

When we arrived in school this morning only one caterpillar was still walking round the container. Two more were happily hanging from the lid, and the remaining two were already in their cocoons. By home time one more of the hanging caterpillars was in its cocoon too. We think by tomorrow we will have only cocoons - no caterpillars any more. The weather is very warm, which is why they are moving quickly through their lifecycle at the moment.
