Room 103 is turning into a critter zoo! Adding to our tadpoles we have caterpillars and harvester ants. We got tiny caterpillars last week and they have already plumped up and some have even gone into their chrysalis! When the metamorphosis is complete, these caterpillars will be beautiful "Painted Lady" Butterflies. We should see them emerge next week. As butterflies they drink sugar water.
The harvester ants came a week after our caterpillars and have not wasted any time making their house a home! The ants sting, so they have to be refrigerated for 10 minutes before being transferred into their "AntWorks" container. You can see all their hard work in the tunnel designs they have created!
