Bugville

For Bryce's birthday one of his friends got him Bugville. Instead of digging in the dirt to find caterpillars, you send away for them...much neater. They arrive in a little container where they live for several days until they cocoon and then turn in to butterflies. Bryce anxiously watch them make their way to the roof of the container (although he kept his distance so they didn't bite...do caterpillars bite?). Once they formed their cocoons, every day we checked to see if there was a butterfly...and then all of a sudden...THERE WAS!!!! We hatched 5 butterflies. They lived in their cage, but after a day we set them free. One was smart enough to stick around since we kept providing food and water. We'll see when and if he joins his friends. I think for his next brithday he's ready to graduate to GrizzlyBearVille.
