The girls were fighting over the fact that DD1 had a frog in her bug catcher the other day and DD2 didn't, so in the end we found a very furry caterpillar in the garden and told her she could have that.

So we've had it a couple of days, went to MIL's last night, come home today and tonight DD1 brings me the bug catcher and asks where DD2's caterpillar is, can't find it then i notice a cocoon (Pupa?) stuck between some of the blades of grass.

Now it looks quite soft, not at all hard, a little like spider webs all entwined.

So what now, does it 'need' anything to become a butterfly, a certain temp or environment etc??? i would love if we could have it emerge for the girls
