Our Painted Lady caterpillars have arrived

We ordered caterpillars from http://www.insectlore-europe.com/  They came all the way from the UK in the post.  They are really tiny now, but they will eat the food they came with, and soon we will have 5 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies to release into Renmore.  We will watch as the caterpillars turn into chrysalides in their cocoons, and then turn into butterflies.  This is very exciting for us.
