Butterflies

Gramma Caroline gave us 3 caterpillars.  Two of them escaped the "home" they were put in and I found one on the washing machine after about 24 hours and I found the other one about 48 hours later under the table in the kitchen. I have an eye for moving objects :) (thankfully)
I didn't get good pics of them as caterpillars, but here you can kind of see the one cocoon on the branch behind the butterfly and then the shell of the butterfly on the ground.  (The first to cocoon and transform was the one under the table in the kitchen). I wasn't sure if he would make it, but he did and was gorgeous!
I didn't get pics of the other two but they did, also, turn into beautiful butterflies. It's just amazing the process. How cool is God?!
