Change in the Caterpillar Lab

I wanted you to see one of the caterpillars starting to pupate. He will create a chrysalis in his ziploc plastic bag home. If he is successful he will turn into a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly. You saw the picture of him in his bright green. Now his color is changing and he has strapped himself in place to begin making his chrysalis. He will stay in the bag until he turns into a butterfly. Another caterpillar has already turned into a moth. We had to put it in the freezer because Rebecca, the scientist, needs to keep it for her collection. She needs to be able to prove that she has done her research well and that she has correctly identified all the caterpillars and plants.
