My little Sadie girl at work found a Caterpillar after a rain storm on Monday. Or “Calapitter” if you ask her! Being Sadie she of course decided to keep it as a pet and emptied out an old fish tank, gathered some leaves!

After a little research we found out that “Calapitter” was an “Eastern Tent Caterpillar” and will become a moth. She was a little bummed that it wouldn’t become a pretty butterfly, but kept it anyway excited to see it’s transformation!    Proud “Calapitter Momma!” |

Isn't it amazing to see nature at work?
Is it totally crazy that I had no idea that catepillar's turned to moth's? I thought they only turned to butterflies!
No I didn't realize it either;) and moths totally scare the crap out of me–they are creepy but I love butterflies lol!
Lol no! Who cares about moths! Lol
How fun would that be to watch! Can't wait to see more pictures:)
How cute =) I don't think I'd let Aria bring in a calapitter though. Esp if it would be a moth, creepy!
Aww! Sadie has gotten so big!! I love that she's not scared of insects and bugs 🙂 I love that kids call them calapitters. super cute!
