Cocoon update
DALLAS (AP) — In an exciting move yesterday, caterpillar #2 went up to the top of the terrarium to, in his own words, “hang out for a little”, and this morning, while the Badrina household was gone, it formed its cocoon. Eyewitness reports last encountered the ravenous caterpillar in the late hours of Sunday night, but paparazzi were unable to take photos due to the lack of light. Anonymous sources revealed its last known words were, “dude, get that flashlight out of my face!” It has been exactly two weeks from the time he was whisked away from the milkweed patch while the Badrina’s were foraging for caterpillar #1’s food, so experts predict another couple of days before caterpillar/cocoon #1 transforms into butterfly #1. Rory Badrina, in ballet class, was not available for comment.
