How Cute are Caterpillars?

This is just a quick behavioural study of my newest pets.

During the day they scamper from leaf to leaf and frolic like spring lambs in their new home but when evening comes they all cuddle together in a little caterpillar ball.

For warmth? Or perhaps they are afraid of the dark, I don’t know.

Don’t worry, this little one is just like me, an early riser.

I took these pictures at six o’clock this morning. They don’t live outside I just took them out because the light was poor in the kitchen.

As  you can see they are getting along fine.
