Dad found the cocoons and we took a picture of them and they are getting ready to turn into moths and a butterfly. So I’m finding lots of callepitters. And I like them so much cause I like them. I like their colors, and I love them. I really like them so much, and I really like them so much. I like them so much and I like them. And it’s really fun to find callepitters. And we always find cocoons, and when we did, I get happy. And we have cocoons, and I like cocoons. But I really like them so much that I like them. And it’s really fun to find cocoons around here. And it’s really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, fun. And someday we might have more cocoons because we have more callepitters. And I will be really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, happy.
That’s pretty neat. Do you know what kind of plants the caterpillars like to live on?

I know which kind of leafs they are on. They’re on salmonberry leafes. We have some other leafes too. Alder and willowherb.
I pull the leafes down and look for callepitters and when I crack it open (the leaves when they are rolled up), I might see a callepitter. But I sometimes don’t find callepitters. Sometimes birds find them, but sometimes people do sometimes. I do find some too. Cause I look real hard sometimes.

It is good that you know where to look for caterpillars and the cacoons. Maybe you can keep track of what days you find them to see when they go away for the winter. Or do you think they stay out in Sitka in the winter?

I don’t know, but I do know when it’s winter when it’s cold for the callepitters they get warm leafes that keep them warm from the snow.

Maybe you can find some caterpillars on the warm leaves in the winter and take a picture of them. On Sunday when I was in grandpa’s pickup I rolled down the window and a praying mantis flew in the window and hit my forehead and then jumped into the back seat. I had to open 3 windows before he could find the way to fly out. He was a green one.
