Zoo trip and car anniversary

Today we went to the zoo to introduce Joseph to the animals. From Joseph’s keen attention, we know he’d like to be back at the zoo again soon. The page is here.

Our car is now more than 1 year old, having driven it out of Ricardo on 9 April 2009.

Caterpillar is dead

Sadly, the caterpillar is dead, being immobile on the leaf for over a few days. It is probably at the stage where it changes from black to green, according to the Wikipedia reference here.

The life-cycle graphic here is very nice.

Trip to Pontian and Caterpillar

We had a short trip to Pontian with mum and dad. We left Singapore on 14 March (Sunday) at 7:30pm adn reached Ah Yee’s house at about 10:30pm after a quick dinner at the hawker centre.

The Pontian Trip page is here.

After the trip, we found that the caterpillar has grown to about 20mm long and 4mm in diameter. It is also greenish now.

Caterpillar update

A short update, another one died after a few days, but the last reianing one is growing very well. It is about 15mm in length now.

This micro-lens taken shot of it shows all the glorious details.

Caterpillars

Samuel and Hwee Leng had just passed 3 caterpillars to us from their lime tree, and we intend to watch them grow and metamorphosize into the cocoon and butterfly. Unfortunately, David had already accidentally crushed one. Let’s hope the other two grows up.

We used an old cookie jar as the tank, and covered it with a perforated aluminium sheet. The chopsticks frame serves as a form of ‘branch structure’.

Here’s a close-up on one of the caterpillars.
