Hannah ran into the house last evening and said that she found a caterpillar. I ran out with her to find him and he was on the move... climbing so fast that we barely found him in the crack of the wall of the house. But we found him and he didn't get too far after that. We snapped some pics and then we went to get Ben's bughouse from the house. Ben was in the garage with Corey, we didn't want him to get away so we captured him and took the caterpillar to him.
Oh ... how cool!
Now he's in the bughouse and off to the net I went in search of his name. Here's what I found out. He seems to be a sort of
gulf fritillary caterpillar that molts and eventually turns into a butterfly.
Ben doesn't want his bughouse to be where he molts and makes a chrysalis so we are looking for a new home for our new little bug friend...we'll also need some food. :-)
