Metamorphosis 1

At the beginning of the year Marcus brought some incy -wincy baby gum emperor caterpillars to school. We fed them gum leaves and watched them change from black to green and then get very fat. Then they turned a pinkish colour before spinning a cocoon around themselves. At first the cocoon was white and we could see the caterpillar through it. Now it has gone brown and hard. We are waiting to see what happens next....

If you look closely you can see the caterpillar inside the cocoon.
