We named our caterpillars! 🐛🐛 Let me introduce you to Gengar and… Bob the Builder 🤣⚒️

One kid chose the name Gengar because he was purplish (although he’s more pink now), and Bob the Builder because… according to the child who named him, “he makes 💩 so he can build things” 😅

Personally, I was rooting for Brownie or Cookie 🍪 but oh well…

We thought we lost Gengar for a bit, but I think he’s just trying to find a safe spot to pupate, so we gave him some soil to burrow into. Hopefully that does the trick!

Here’s hoping they’re doing well over the long weekend. I’ll check on them again Tuesday 🐛💕

Open House 2026 ✔️ Only 13 more days to go!

Day 2 of raising caterpillars 🐛

I guess we have class pets now! And we even have something new for Open House!

After some Googling, these caterpillars seem to be either armyworms or to***co budworms… maybe one of each? I think they both eat dandelions, so that’s perfect because they’re everywhere right now!

One of them barely moved all day, so I’m a little worried about it, but the other one is super active and climbed all the way up the netting looking for food! We’ll see if we can keep them alive and healthy. Only 15 days of school left, so I’m hoping we get to watch them grow and metamorphose before summer break!

Thank you .88 for the netting!
