These are a few of my favorite things

 Lately I've been obsessed with everything dirty and green. These are just a few things I've collected over the past few weeks.

The most beautiful life cycle

I found these beautiful caterpillars about a week and a half ago, there were ten of them all munching away and getting more and more fat before my eyes.

And then they disappeared, I couldn't find them anywhere and began to worry.

But today I found all sorts of good news. I found the cocoon first, hiding away under the plant, and then another and another. I kept looking and then I found their eggs and then the best thing was all the tiny baby caterpillars huddled together, eating a tiny leaf.

I am so happy and excited to finally get a glimpse of what butterflies these caterpillars will grow to be!
