"You'll see that simplifying is not necessarily about getting rid of everything we've worked so hard for. It's about making wise choices among the things we now have to choose from. It's about recognizing that trying to have it all has gotten in the way of enjoying the things that truly do add to our happiness and well-being. So it's about deciding what's important to us, and gracefully letting go of the things that are'nt."
Hee..Hee.. I’m on a roll here.
After the successful breeding of the 3 caterpillars which all transformed into beautiful black swallowtail butterflies (Common Mormon), I could’nt wait to get my hands on different species of caterpillars to breed again.
So Irene & I went to the East Coast Park for our morning walk & at the same time in search of caterpillars among the many flowering plants there. We also saw many different types of lovely butterflies fluttering among the plants & bushes. I have never really appreciate & admire the beauty of butterflies until now. They are really one of God’s many beautiful creation.
Let me tell you that it sure is difficult to look for caterpillars hiding among the leaves in the bushes. After much bending down & straining our not so young eyes, we finally spotted not 1 but 3 caterpillars of the same species on different bushes. Wow! this one really look nasty with spines covering it’s entire body.
Here are some shots of them :
Scary looking right? Anyway, this particular species belong to the “Nymphalidae” family of caterpillars & will eventually transform into :
Lebadea Martha Parkeri (The Knight) & you may have guess by now why I name the title of this post as such. 
So as before, 3 caterpillars in the fish aquarium tank filled with freshly plucked leaves from the host plant & 2 twigs for the caterpillars to cling to when they are ready to transform into chrysalis. My guess is that these caterpillars are already at their final stage (instar) & are ready to molt in a matter of days.
If you are curious as to what the butterflies will look like when these caterpillars metamorphose,
stay tune……
