Bob the Caterpillar

My grandma wrote a book called "Please Don't Step on Me."  It is about bugs and the things they do to help us.
Grandma passed away when I was pregnant with Alli, so my girls never got to meet her.

But I think they share her love of little critters.

Ruby and June found this guy outside... This is "Bob."  Bob will become a black swallowtail butterfly soon.  Bob eats dill... lots of it!
We dug up a dill plant and potted it and brought it in the house.  Bob is devouring that plant.  He is getting bigger and shinier and smoother every day.  The girls love to check on him and see how he has changed.
Stay tuned... hopefully we will have a butterfly in a few weeks.
