Homeschooling in Progress

Today we studied some Fritillary Caterpillars who were attracted to my now blooming Passion Flower Vine which is a host plant for these furry little caterpillars.  I counted 7, Andrew and Kathlena each had an opportunity to hold one. Kathlena's caterpillar was a lively one and was soon crawling all over her. Andrew's however, was content to remain still in his hand. I find this most humorous as this is so like Andrew and Kathlena's different personalities.
