but George and I are fascinated with a caterpillar. If you’ve never watched a caterpillar go through the process of becoming a butterfly, you are missing out! It’s so amazing. We’ve watched parts of it several times but I’m still completely amazed every time I see a part of the process. My dad found 6 […]
