It's a...
MOTH!
Yes, I checked on little Slimey today after probably more than a week and found this.
He's not alive anymore. I'm having a really hard time with this. I am a horrible caterpillar keeper. I can't believe he came out of his cocoon and we didn't know about it. I just feel so sad. Like it was just a waste of time.
When I showed the boys Simon said, "So when is it going to turn into a butterfly?" I had to explain it to him that this caterpillar was made to be a moth, not a butterfly. So sweet though. :) I didn't have the heart to tell him that the moth was actually dead. Maybe tomorrow - or IF he asks about it another day.
So the Slimey Stats are over........and I'm really sad about it. I'd be a lot less sad if we were able to let him go in the gorgeous January weather. Oh well!

Melanie---they got to Indy to get the sweatshirt and it was the one without a hood. Kit Kat claims I never asked her about a hood. She is now on my list of people to hunt down and torture when I am old and have nothing to lose. I am so sorry about Slimey. I have made a rule that I refuse to take on anything else that has to be kept alive- human or otherwise. With your busy life that might be the best avenue to take. Rest in peace, Slimey....
mmmmmmm slimey.......
AWWW sorry about that....don't feel bad, I can't even keep a plant alive!!
