Our caterpillars are in cocoons

Monday, 3rd October 2011
Over the weekend most of our caterpillars died (teacher can't figure out why).
The remaining 3 caterpillars spun cocoons and will wait for the warmer weather before they emerge as beautiful White Cabbage butterflies.
The green cocoons are White Cabbage butterfly cocoons, but the two brown cocoons are much smaller.  Teacher found them under a wall at her home.  We wonder what type of butterflies will emerge from these cocoons.  Sleep tight butterflies, we'll see you in the Spring!!
