Early Spring has never been so evident. My house is covered in butterfly cocoons, and they're all starting to come out of their little nesting places. It is a truly amazing thing to have watched them these past few months. They started off as sixty or seventy caterpillars infesting the outside of the house. After a few weeks, they made their little homes, and now... they are breaking away right in front of my eyes. It's the most incredible metamorphosis I have ever witnessed. The only problem is my kitty Cosmo. He's a true hunter at heart, and he can't help himself. The few cocoons that were attached to my deck have already been torn down by him :(
