Ack! I just realized I deleted three months of photos from my computer that I did not have backed up online. Sure I have them on my backup drive but I need extra backups. So, I’m only showing a handful of photos today. Because I’m doing the whole back up thing. AGAIN. Sheesh!

This was taken weeks ago.

Isabelle had a mild interest in butterflies.

Then the other week Alan found a caterpillar in our backyard.

And a full blown obsession has kicked in. Isabelle wanted to put the caterpillar in a jar and keep it and feed it and play with it and carry it around.

We would have let her keep it too. But then Alan went online to identify what kind of caterpillar it was, so we would know what to feed it.

We think it’s a Nadata gibbosa, a moth. And once Alan showed me that web page, the ick factor went sky high. The caterpillar is lucky the urge to hurl it across the room, as far away from me as possible, did not kick in. I serenely put it back in the garden as quick as can be. Isabelle was a little upset until she saw the picture of what it turned into. Not a butterfly but an oogy moth.

Ok must stop typing now because I have the heebie jeebies.
