The middle sized caterpillar was extremely busy during the night ... he turned into a "raccoon"! hehehee ;-)

"Hi Daddy, one of the caterpillars has done a raccoon and it's going to turn into a butterfly"! :-)
You can see here that it's attached itself to one of the dead leaves as well. It's still very busy inside moving about spinning it's cocoon - it's head is going back and forwards, back and forwards!
The smallest caterpillar was very busy chomping it's way through a leaf.
Still can't believe how fast they eat!
Maddison wanted to take them to school again today to show her "fwends". I took some photos before I left and noticed that the smallest one had started making webbing on the branch.
And the large one had been busy in the night too ... it's webbed all over the back wall and on some of the leaves. So I suspect there might be 3 "raccoons" by tomorrow morning! :-)
I sure hope that whether they are moths or butterfly's they are going to look a whole lot prettier than they do as caterpillars!
