I have no further plan. Although I did figure out what kind it is.
It turns into this moth. Do I keep it?
I upgraded its living quarters for the moment.
I didn’t exactly think this out very well, did I?

If you haven’t noticed, every week I am bringing you a brand new recipe that includes pork; a hearty and healthy alternative to other meats on your dinner plate during the week.In my house Charlotte can spot a “not chicken” meal like 100 miles away, so the key to getting her to eat other meat, [...]
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. If your family is like mine it’s large and sick. Okay seriously, my family really is large by today’s standards (with 4 kids I can get away with anything), and they often only share one thing… germs. That’s why I enjoy sharing things [...]
I personally have yet to gather up enough courage to ever get a tattoo. When I was about 19, I nearly got a frog tattooed on my shoulder. I am sure … [Read More...]

I would say keep the friendly little critter so you can see the miracle of the transformation
Awww, you saved it. It’s a Christmas Miracle! I say keep it and watch it’s transformation . . .
It might be a good idea to put it in something other than metal. Most creatures don’t like the feel of metal. A glass jar would be better.
we got it its own little cage.
I’ve missed so many of your posts it will take me a week to catch up! But that thing looks well I really don’t know how to put it. I’m impressed that you got to save it. I didn’t know they can survive after freezing!
I don’t know what they are really called, but we always called those Wooly Bear caterpillars.
Oh how funny! I have no help with it but looks fun lol.
That is so cool. I asked my son what to do he did this is school last year. If you put him in a container with leaves and sticks at room temps he will then do the transfer . There food is the leaves in the home !
GOod Luck
I’ve no clue either. Are there any local entomologists? Perhaps they could tell you. I think its very sweet that you rescued the little bugger!
LOL I have no clue either. Have you searched on google to see if you can find anything out?
I love the ‘Ahh ahh…don’t touch me!’ before you started petting him! lol
LMAO. Ah Ah Don’t touch me!
It’s a miracle lmao.
So glad that it lived. Charlotte is going to be so excited when she gets home. Cant wait to see what she says about it.
aawww…it’s SO cute!! That is amazing that it survived the freeze.
LMAO!! I laughed out loud at your “AHH! AHH!” when you were holding the stick. LOL!
Is it wrong to want to yell “It’s alive… ALIVE!!!” lol
OMG thats why insects can survive like an ice age freaky!
EWWW, it’s one of those moths that has a face. EEEEWWWW
I hate those things. They freak me out.
Keep it until it makes it’s chrysalis and then put it outside.
I dunno what to do now. My sister has a butterfly house – but that wont help you now. LOL. Good luck and it was a very sweet thing you did.
That is just crazy I tell ya!!
Hahaha, told ya! I would keep it – I mean, it will just freeze again if you put him outside. They have those butterfly habitat garden thingies at Target… I was actually thinking of getting Sami one…
What the heck? Maybe he was just playing dead?
no, it was frozen solid. Like stiff. If I bent him, he would have busted. Little caterpillar icicle.
LOL No clue on what you are supposed to do with Caterpillars. Does Charlotte know?
she is still at school but she is going to be excited. We carried it-stiff-to a bush today and covered it up.
When i got home i took it in the house cause i felt so bad. I didnt really think it would work.
How interesting!
