Moth update, eggs!!!!!!


This is a picture I drew of a male moths head on my doodle pad!




I raised some cabbage white butterflies from eggs. Here they are hatching out!



Wow, wow, wow! Look how small the cabbage white butterfly is next to the Chinese oak silk moth!





I love the fluffy bit on their backs.





I was REALLY pleased to capture these images!



The side of a wing, I love the patterns.



They're all over me!!!!! lol



A stunning bunch........



The cocoons.......these amazing pictures capture a moth hatching....


I hope you enjoy them! It was a real thrill to actual see one hatching!



...... shes getting there.....


....and out she popped!



...note how small the wings are at first....



.....now the unfolding begins!



......wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


....fulling out...almost complete!
They hatch so quick and at night that I only ever saw one actually hatching so I'm really glad that I managed to take pictures of this one!!!!

Party time!


Yesterday evening I went out to my cousins party! She is now 5 years old and looks like a little pretty pixie! I had good fun there and it was nice to see lots of the family :-) The grub was nice to!



I have to be careful with eating food at parties because I used to be allergic to nuts and milk, I'm ok with most stuff now but I hadn't tried peanuts till a few days ago and I came up in a stingy nettle like sore :-(
At least I'm not as allergic as I was.


Every week I go to a local home educators group which my Mum has the keys to! My friend (who is on holiday at the mo) and I every week take to the group craft stuff and activities to do.

This is just some of the things that we have done over the months -




















































Phew! Thats all for today, I've had enough of uploading pics! I hope you enjoy looking at them!
