:: we collected this little guy as a caterpillar that was making its way through my Gardenia- I left him there to eat happily as he was too beautiful to move. After he got really big & really fat we put him in a jar with a few stalks & leaves, we drew him and then placed him on our nature table to observe. He ended up building himself a hard cocoon under the dead leaves & stayed there for a few weeks. We wondered if he had died but still kept him safe from the littlest & not so gentle hands. One morning we woke to find this quirky creature sitting at the top of the jar readying himself to fly. And he did.

That's not quite what I would have expected from those caterpillars!
