Butterfly-to-be

Ben's science class is observing caterpillars as they go through their cycle to become Painted Lady Butterflies. In this picture, Ben is holding "Larry." Ben will take the report from here.

He is in a "J" shape, hanging from the top of the container. He has a silk button on his bottom which helps him to stay up there. When he is not in the "J" shape, he will be in his crysalis. He won't eat anything now that he is in the "J" shape. When Larry grows up to be a butterfly, his name will change to "Larryboy," because Larryboy can fly.

(Please consult your VeggieTales videos for any clarification needed on Larry and Larryboy).
