Not quite Molly the owl, but, it's more exciting for the kids, since it's happening in our front yard, up close and personal! We found 5 caterpillars cruising through our yard yesterday. Unfortunately, none of them were found on anything green... they were just crawling across the bricks, or concrete. So, I have no clue what their host plant is for food. I've tried everything, in hopes of keeping these guys alive. I've googled a bit, and think they may be "common butterflies," but I'm not sure (we have an awful lot of moths around at night....) Around 3pm today, one was on the ceiling of their enclosure, and started hanging upside down; and the other started making this "white stuff" on one of the twigs in the tank. Of course, we are thinking, and hoping, they are starting to do their thing!! Stay tuned for the caterpillar saga as it unfolds for us!
