Yay! Catipillars are here. We got cups. Then we got food in the cups. Then we had to push the food down. After that we got are catipillars. We got magnetfine glasses to watch it for a while. It was still a baby. I learnd that they sleep alot. If you want to know if they are alive they should have air, water,and food. Would you ever get a catipillar?
