Our first monarch

We've been watching monarch caterpillars become monarchs and the transformation has been amazing to watch. We've been feeding the caterpillars milkweed leaves and have been amazed at how much they eat!! And did you know that caterpillars poop? A lot?

Our first caterpillar formed its chrysalis almost 2 weeks ago and waited to emerge until Dan and the kids were back home. We let it fly away yesterday.
