Nothing brings a boy more joy than playing with his very own "caperlaler"---i.e. caterpillar!  :)

Some of his playmates were a bit hesitant to go near to it at first, for fear that it would bite!

Once she held it and learned it was docile, it was immediately cute and she wanted to hold it again and again!  Oh, and pose for pictures again and again!

He is now holding a "pling mantus"--praying mantis!  He is a lover of the critters!  :)
