Caterpillars and Butterflies

What an amazing example of shedding our old sin nature and putting on Christ! We are unrecognizable as the "caterpillar" we once were as we emerge from Jesus a completely new creation!
2 Corinthians 5:17

Did you know that the caterpillar's name means "hairy cat"?
Did you know that caterpillars have fourteen legs but butterflies only have six?
Caterpillars have legs with no knees, and they are short and stubby legs...butterflies have long lanky legs with knees that bend!
Caterpillars only eat leaves and butterflies only drink nectar.

Can you guess what we are studying here at Potter's Hand Elementary? ;)

I realize that autumn is not the best time of the year to delve into insects, but we found one in our backyard last week and the kids were totally engrossed in watching it for hours! I figured it was something that interested them, so let's go for it! :)

We are having a blast! God is good all the time :)
