I forgot about him for a few days and when I went out to check on him, he was gone! We didn't have a lid on the tank, so I figured he crawled out and probably died somewhere with no leaves to eat. I went to school and my mom found him. Under the chair that the tank was sitting on.
I was so excited to see that when I came home from school! How funny that he attached to the bottom of the chair! I kept saying "No way!"
So, we waited and waited and checked each day. Then soon he was in his cocoon.
We weren't sure how long it'd take to be a butterfly and tried to keep an eye on it. I was worried what we'd do when it did since it wasn't in a cage.
Then my mom checked one morning before school and we found the cocoon empty! We couldn't find the butterfly! He couldn't fly away because he was in our screened in porch. I had to go to school so I had to stop looking.
When my mom came home from work she looked out on the porch and saw a shadow of a butterfly on the wall. She found my butterfly! When I got home from school this is what I found!
I had to try to catch him and set him free outside. It was tough, but I did it!
Then, I set him free outside!
Bye, bye little butterfly!And, that's the story of my caterpiller. :)
