When Matthew's very first caterpillar made its cacoon he came running into our bedroom in the morning and yelled, "Mom, my caterpillar turned into a raccoon!" Dad's response was, "Wow, those are some caterpillars." For the life of me I cannot get him to call it a cocoon. It doesn't matter how hard I try, or how many spin their little magic. According to Matthew they are raccoons. The funny thing is Adam calls them the same thing half the time. Oh these sweet little boys.
The monarch cocoons become very translucent just before they are about to emerge. You can see the butterfly under the very thin outer shell. It is SO AMAZING TO WATCH THEM CHANGE!
