Mrs. Magnificent has emerged!
About 15 days after she went into her cocoon, we noticed that it had slightly changed color. The off white stripes were more of a yellow, and the light brown looked a bit more orange.
About three hours later, I heard a ruckus in the kitchen and (initially thinking I was going to have to break up a WWE Smackdown-style fight between the boys) was pleasantly surprised to find them excitedly looking into the cage. Mrs. Magnificent had emerged and was patiently drying her wings.
We waited a bit and then put her outside in the flower bed. She stayed for a bit, and then flew off.
The boys loved this experience so much that I promised them that we will look for caterpillars and do this again next year. It gave us a great opportunity to talk about the amazing things that God does in our world. And, I have to admit that I thought it was fun too!
