RE: Caterpillars in a Salad, and Other Caterpillar Complications
Ah... .what childhood fun !
I was going to say about the sticks too. I only know because my sister use to buy the butterfly boxes where they send you caterpillars and they live and then make their cocoons inside a closed box that had some sort of clear cellophane? windows on all 4 sides so you could watch. You put several sticks propped up inside and eventually the cocoons would hang from them. I don't know if they are territorial and will refuse to hang side by side. 😄 🐛
I don't exactly say a prayer for roadkill, but I do quietly say "I'm sorry" when I go by them. I do say a prayer any time rescue units or firetrucks cross my path with sirens blaring, knowing they are flying to help someone who is in peril.
I hope your caterpillars make it to butterflies and get a happy release !
I do the same thing with firetrucks and ambulances!
Good news, we've got one cacoon so far. That little knuckle-head put it on the roof of the box instead of the stick, lol.
Thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I guess it didn't over think it like I did. LOL !!!
I thought it would pick the natural surface of the stick, but he was just fine with plastic. Hopefully it sticks well to the slick plastic.
