I have come to love butterfly rearing. Each day is filled with more of a sense of purpose. After a little stretching and yawning, I walk over to my caterpillars and begin to care for them. I clean the rearing cups, place new leaf cuttings, spray the chrysalises and tend the garden.
There is something new everyday! I wake in anticipation for the next instar. I wonder whether metamorphoses has occurred overnight, yet again. This is, after all, my first go at rearing butterflies.
Caring for something so small and squishy is truly magical! I am slowly acquiring new knowledge and developing a craft. I am documenting the process and sharing my experiences. I’ve already got my little cousins asking for some caterpillars of their own! This already sounds exciting!
I hope you enjoy the adventure with me!
