Welcome to Cornish Caterpillars

We now have 3 green caterpillars! We saw the butterfly lay these eggs.
This Blog has been set up for the September holidays so that the children can follow the progress of their classroom caterpillars.

The Year 1 children have been collecting and observing caterpillars at school over the past 2 weeks. They have a container of "Benjis", a container of "Bobs." A container with 3 tiny green cabbage butterfly caterpillars. They also have 3 cocoons.

Every few days we'll post photos of the caterpillars so that the children can follow their progress.
The stick like Bobs - One has gone black (lying on the leaf) hopefully it is changing into a pupa!
Two Bob cocoons and one random cocoon.

The very active Benjis - No cocoons yet!
