spinning





Today..lovely sunny day,
One of the caterpillars (The one I found a few days ago)
started spinning.
First he spun a layer on the stem of the plant.
And then he started making his safetybelt.
Its such a loevely sight.
More than 30 times I guess..making the girdle stronger and stronger.



When he was finished he sat down quietly.
Hanging a little in the belt, (frontlegs loose,)

Such a brave heart.
