Inchworms!

We were out of town for ELEVEN days, not ten days. Ummi keeps telling that to everybody. But it's 11 days. I counted. Proof? We left on Friday. Then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and lastly, Monday. Count all that and you'll get eleven. I guarantee it.

Anyway, last week on Saturday, I went with Ummi, Abi and Z to the Farmer's Market. (This was the day before I got my camera and betta.) So, like, we shopped there, and I bought cotton candy. Then we went to Shahit's store, and then we went to Auntie Saleem's house to get our plants back. Auntie Saleem wasn't home, so we raided and took back our plants. :D There were about four or three red tomatoes on my plant. I got excited when the bell pepper plant got loaded in the van, 'cause that's where I saw the two caterpillar eggs. While we were driving home, Ummi told me to look for caterpillars on the bell pepper plant. There weren't any. However, when we got home, Ummi was watering the plants, and S was peering at the big carrot plant pot. Suddenly...she found an inchworm!!! I thought it was a green grappler, because of the way it moved, but it just seemed to be another old inchworm. I looked harder and found another one! We put these two in Neptune old terrarium. Later that day, they were GONE.

Another day, I found another one. I put it in a jar along with some carrot leaves. Later I found a cocoon around it, along with some turds.
