*We found this caterpillar at home and we immediately made it part of the family. We wanted to observe the lifecycle of the butterfly. However, Otto escaped after being 4 days with us and, well, let's say he's at a better place now
:(
*Although Otto wasn't long enough with us :( we sure learned a great deal. The kids spend their days observing and feeding Otto, and investigating about caterpillars and butterflies. It became a learning adventure for the whole family!
*This was the house we built for the caterpillar thanks to Janice VanCleave's help. Everytime we had a concern she was there to support us. THANK YOU Janice for your support and guidance!
*This is Otto already changing into THIS. One of the 1st things we did was identify the type of caterpillar we had. We visited THIS SITE sent by Janice.
(Saben cómo sabíamos si Oto se estaba alimentando? Por las bolas grandotas de heces fecales, jejeje.)
*Otto moving all over the house especially at night time as it was transforming into a Moth. (Want to know how we found out the hungry Otto was eating? By the huge balls of feces, hehehe.)
Es de vital importancia identificar el tipo de hoja que come la oruga ya que son bien selectivas y no comen todo tipo de hoja. Hasta se pueden morir de hambre!
*This was the 1st butterfly house we built..
pretty BUT it DIDN'T work out for us!
It's extremely important to identify the type of leaves the caterpillar prefers as they are very picky eaters and would starve to death!
