Well that didn’t take long:
Being a caterpillar blows, I’m gonna’ make me some wings.
Forgive the crappy photo. I assure you it’s an artifact of the cheap phone camera and not an instance of the first caterpillar to master arc welding.
By my count the little critter only took 4 days to get to the “glue my ass to a leaf in preparation for making a chrysalis” phase.
It’s fun doing kid things. Don’t ever get too “mature” for doing simple stuff that makes you smile.
