When I was growing up we always looked for monarch caterpillars in the fall. This year my mother found one and gave him to us. We watched as he crawled around and made a "J" formation and then spun his chrysalis. It took 2 weeks for him to turn into a butterfly. Ben was so happy to see him and did a really good job of letting him go.
