Caterpillars

I was away for almost 2 weeks. When I am back home, was surprised to see 3 fat juicy caterpillars happily chewing on my lime tree. I wanted to kill them as they do look yucky. But I really dun have the heart to do so. So i decided to just keep them as 'pet'.

The very next day, 2 of them have turned to cacoon (i will call this day 2). They are hanging on the branch with only their head and tail. 1 of them is still in caterpillar stage. Now I felt so excited, as though I am still in school during my science class. All I know is that caterpillars grow to butterflies and moths.

On day 3, the other caterpillar also turn into cacoon. The first 2 caterpillars have changed their 'hanging' position. Now, they are hanging just on 1 thread. I wonder how strong is the thread as it is windy lately. I wanted to touch the thread to test the durability, but am afraid i break it and cause the death of the cacoon. Their colour also changed, from bright green to slightly light. Their apprearance have changed too.

Now on day 6, nothing changes. I am still waiting for them to grow to be beautiful butterflies.
