Five Freddies

Meet our new additions!

These caterpillars are Caleb's Christmas present from Aunt Lori and Uncle Ron and Tyler and Danielle. They are hungry little guys! Or gals I guess. And they are all named Freddie. Well one is Freddy and one is Fredi, but the other three are Freddie - at Caleb's request. (He almost named one DeGlossius, but changed his mind.)

Kind of dark, but maybe you can tell how much they grew OVERNIGHT! They are painted lady butterflies-to-be and they arrived Saturday. They are supposed to stay caterpillars for 7-10 days before making the chrysalis.

I'd like this picture of Caleb looking at them a little more if he didn't have a runny nose, but I still thought it was pretty cute :)
