| Catarino is growing!! |

| Naman with "Naman" |
Our nature nook is full of action. Catarino is getting bigger! Now that he's bigger, he's not so creepy. He reminds me of the caterpillar from "Alice in Wonderland", obviously the Disney movie. Catarino is roughly in his 4th instar. There will be one more instar before Catarino forms a chrysalis and transforms into bat food. Just kidding. He'll turn into a beautiful butterfly (eye roll) and then we'll know for sure if he's a boy or girl butterfly.
We have another larva, I mean caterpillar. In honor of our young volunteer, we have named him "Naman". "Naman" is in his 3rd instar. Naman has been helping around the library all week. He's very interested in our Nature Nook. (We have snake skins and turtle shells, too.) When he takes a break from shelving books, or breaking down Legos, he explores our creatures. Naman is one lucky kid. Not all of the kids are able to hold the caterpillars. We like to show our appreciation in simple ways. This is just one way we say thank you for helping. Thank you, Naman!
