A relocated caterpillar has already turned into a chrysalis on its new plant.
A dead caterpillar. We are not quite sure how or why it died - or even if it is a monarch butterfly caterpillar.
Getting ready to turn into a chrysalis.
There's a lot of interest in our caterpillars.
Some really interesting facts about aphids and lady birds.... The new home for the caterpillars has a lot of aphids on it.
Sarah talks about the caterpillars to some of the juniors who were checking out the swan plant at lunchtime.
Caterpillars and ladybirds seem to be enjoying their new home.
Watch this video and this one about a caterpillar turning into a chrysalis.
Lady birds on the seed pods.
We put all the cut branches in a big bucket of water in the garden and started searching for eggs and any tiny caterpillars.
We found some really tiny caterpillars and made sure they were safely relocated on juicy leaves. Hopefully the branches in water will stay fresh enough for the caterpillars to grow fat and healthy.
We have a big caterpillar and a tiny one on a swan plant branch in the classroom.
