The kid was right

I've been sitting over here feeling bad that things got kinda wild with the worms - while I was away at Rhinebeck the remaining worms decided to spin, and the ones I was allowing to emerge did so, and it was a mess. While Joe's a fairly reasonable wormsitter, he turns out the be a terrible videographer and I had no idea what to do when I came back and there was nothing but chaos.
In the end, I decided to leave a few more to complete metamorphosis and have a do-over, but nothing came of it... until today. Anyway, here's a little bit more of our worm story - enjoy!
Here's a few snaps, in the first one, our wee lady has emerged but not yet inflated her wings, she's a bit of a wet mess. You can see the dissolved end of the cocoon.

This one is about an hour later - she's dry, fluffy and plumped up.

See you soon,
Steph (and company)
