Maybe if he gets used to it, it will not be as hard. You can get a butterfly house for pretty cheap, and we order our caterpillars from butterflynursery.com. My boys love it- and so do I...maybe even more than they do!Tracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343377460536727697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-81555764901016219552009-05-21T13:22:44.392-04:002009-05-21T13:22:44.392-04:00have you ever seen one of these?

She wouldn't even go in the back yard with her, but she was sure sad to see her go.<br /><br />Sorry I don't have any additional advice. I did the same things you did with an added, "maybe we can get another one some day...."Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666910475457302786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-88241670743954850712009-05-21T10:54:50.329-04:002009-05-21T10:54:50.329-04:00Hey, I have "Hope for the flowers".

I bet it would help Big Kid.<br /><br />I would also suggest another butterfly, or setting up a butterfly garden in your yard to attract butterflies, but those are more work. The book is less work, and may do the trick.<br /><br />So sorry for Big Kid, and so sorry for you.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418820443937388209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-43086586860295751102009-05-21T10:50:13.784-04:002009-05-21T10:50:13.784-04:00We had the same experience with my daughter's cate...We had the same experience with my daughter's caterpillar named Teeny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-29180234003939969422009-05-21T10:48:08.959-04:002009-05-21T10:48:08.959-04:00the butterfly garden is a great idea.
