Two weeks ago we got some Painted Lady Caterpillars. We have watched and cared for them. About 6 days ago they turned into chrysalis and today they were born!!!! Well, so far only 4 have been born. Oldest peep has set the video recorder on to see if we can catch the last one born. I put a banana at the bottom of the net and we have seen several fly down and roll out their proboscis and drink up the fruit. Baby Peep has been especially excited. Enjoy the few shots I got of this wonderful process. It is difficult to photograph them through the netting.
