Report from our "Kapawiwa" sitter

For those that don't understand toddler language ... "kapawiwa" in English is caterpillar. hehehe
.
So now we now why those caterpillars were soooo HUGE! They have turned into enormous big moths! How cool is that!! :-)
.
I got a message from Ms K on Thursday to say that 4 had hatched out of their cocoons. Today she sent me some photos and I thought I would share them with you all.


Aren't the colours beautiful.
It's a miracle isn't it how such an ugly caterpillar can turn into something so beautiful.
I can still hardly believe the size of them!
.
Thank you very much Ms K for looking after them for us :-)

"Flutterby"

Last night I dashed out to get a few groceries, but hurried back inside for the camera. This greeted me out by the lift. It was nearly as big as my hand. I haven't seen such a huge moth in real life before.

It was beautiful. I was almost sorry Aaron was asleep because I really wanted to show him.

But I was lucky ... this morning when Lyndon left for work he opened the door and I said ... oh is the moth still there. Sure enough ... so I picked up Aaron and took him out to show him and asked him what it was ... "A flutterby" he breathes really softly. So cool to see his face.


I can see a trip to the butterfly park coming up! :-)
