The Butterflies

Well, we put the jar with the caterpillars in it up on the counter for a week or so and watched it. We also discussed what they were quite a bit. The two little cabbage worms made very different cocoons, and thanks to C's researching skills, by the time they emerged, we had pretty much figured out what they were.

First, the Imported Cabbage Worm, which became a Small White Butterfly.





Then, the cabbage looper, which became a brown moth - quite ugly after the pretty little white butterfly. I was still trying to get a good picture of it when it flew away, so this is all we've got.
