Bob

The boys found this big caterpillar outside and insisted on bringing it home. Bob, as we affectionately named him, kept the boys company all day. The plan was to watch it build it's cocoon and turn into a butterfly. But after a little research we learned it was an Antheraea Polyphemus, aka ugly brown moth. Eventually he was put outside and became our first pet casualty.

I thought so too. It was well taken.
