I went out into the fields and found 2 caterpillar eggs. Then I came home and found 2 more eggs on my milkweed. I watched them closely and when they started turning black I snipped of the leaf and brought it inside to my cage. All 4 eggs hatched but sadly one caterpillar died. I found him hanging by his thread a couple of times and then he must of fell.

Today I went out into another field that had lots of wildflowers. There were so many butterflies fluttering about sipping nectar. I was in awe of their gentle beauty. I'm going to return to the same field and get some video of the butterflies. Oh--I also found 3 eggs which I took to my school and will offer to my teacher colleagues for their classrooms.
