Lucky

Masey got to experience a monarch caterpillar make it's transformation into a butterfly. Unfortunately, "Lucky" had a problem with his wing and possibly his whole right side. Masey brought him up to the attic to see if he could fly, but as we thought, he could not. Lucky lived with us in an aquarium where we fed him and took care of him until he died. Masey's remark when we found he had died was, "not so "lucky"". I then told her that he got to be a butterfly for a short time but at least he made it to his destination. We had tied up his cocoon with dental floss and helped him through his transition. If we had not done that, he would have died before he ever got the chance to be a butterfly. Masey's comment after that was..."Wow, I guess he was lucky!" Not sure if we will do it again next year:)
