kilroy69 986 Posted July 16, 2018 And just like that the boy decided that he would rather have these giant freaking horned caterpillars we found in my brothers garden. These things are massive. Super big caterpillars. They turn into hawkmoths and hopefully we can watch this process with one or all 4. So we set george the turtle free. Had a little goodbye salute.

fandandy 3,311 Posted July 16, 2018 My daughter had something similar to this when she was a kid. https://www.amazon.com/Insect-Lore-Giant-Butterfly-Kit/dp/B00LWVS4PE/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_21_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Y8ZGDTZ73PRV4T8Y7MQW I was actually there when one built its cocoon. Super cool to watch. Hopefully you both get to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
