The Surprises That You Find On Your Patio, Part One

Zane and I were in the backyard the other day, when he came running, yelling "Cad-err-pee-yar!" or something else that sounded like 'caterpillar'. (Some things Z says well, and others, not so much) And indeed there was a caterpillar:

He/she was racing across the yard like it was on fire. I scooped it up, since my son likes to grab things. He's at that age, and normally I indulge him, but on this day, I wasn't sure if this particular bug was the kind that sting.

We watched it in the insect cage until it hatched into a butterfly. No, not really. We let it go after a bit, because after all that racing about, I thought the caterpillar should get to complete the mission.

Look at that caterpillar go!

I still don't have any idea what kind of caterpillar it was, but my son still goes to the fence to see if he can find it!

I welcome comments, but reserve the right to correct your spelling because I am OCD about it!
