Anybody who knows me knows I never pass an opportunity to teach my kids science (thanks Mom), so this week we had an exceptional find at our home. It was much better than the "fossil" that Cole found in the yard which turned out to be a bird's foot or the other nasty stuff the kids love to show me. A week ago we found these orange and black pokey caterpillars on our Passion flower. I was ready to spray them so they wouldn't eat the beautiful flowers, but thought I'd look them up on the internet. I found what it is, the Gulf Frittilary butterfly according to enature.com. So, we have been watching these insects as caterpillars, then cocoons, now butterflies. Just thought people would like to see what we've been up to. Hope you enjoy, Grammy Honey!

So cool, Cory!
You are such a good mom!
Oh, how super cool! The kids love bugs and lizards and frogs of all kinds in our yard, but we've never had the privilege of seeing a cocoon in our yard! WOW!
