Wanted A Caterpillar!!



There is a bad news about my new friend, the caterpillar mentioned few days ago. When I went to the flowers this morning, I found it lost there. It disappeared there. I'm very sure, because I scrutinized every leaf of those flowers. However, there is no track about it. I feel terrible right now. I ever thought to record its life from a small caterpillar to a flying butterfly. All right, even it might not be a butterfly; I still want to watch this natural transformation.

According my imagination, there are two possible things happening on the caterpillar. First of all, it traveled to a remote place where the leaves are better for its appetite. Because the leave in the flowers where it was are old and shrivel, the leave might be too hard for it. The young bug might want delicate sprouts. This is a best way I prefer, in that it still lives.

On the contrary, the other way does not go as I hope. It might be the prey of birds. When I proceeded in the rescue operation, I heard the twitter from birds in the trees, which sounded like gloated laughs. Birds preying their food is a natural thing. Caterpillars always are listed in birds’ menu just after they hatched. Further, the small and sparse leave provide all but a safe shelter. There might be another reason why birds discovered the caterpillar. That is my observation which caught their acute eyes and revealed the position of the caterpillar. I have wondered the intelligence of a bird could help it discover my action relative to divulging something interesting to it.

After all, it has really gone away, I still went there to find any evidence of tracks it left. However, as I ever said it is not the time for this caterpillar to live in this season, and the nature really does it job to select the right one which deserves to survive.

A Wandering Caterpillar



Yestoday, I foud a small green caterpillar in front of my garage. I reconigned it as a caterpillar which eats a specific type of flower, because my grandmother ever grew that flower. When I sae it, I felt very surprised as the result of season, spring is not supposed to see this bug. There was a sound in my mind which told me to find somewhere to save it. Because it is a victim of grobal warming. Warm weather makes it hatch earily, and there is no much food, the leaves of flower. But I still found some flowers with few leaves, and then, I put it in a leaf. After that, I go to see the tiny bug everytime when I go outsides.

This morning, when I went to those flowers, I could not find anything like caterpillar resting in the leaves. I thought it might be eaten by some predators, like sparrows. However, before the sunset, I went there without any expectation, but I suddenly saw a green thing on the back of a leaf. That is the caterpillar. It must go someplace to resort and back the place I left it. What a funny caterpillar!
