They grow up so fast

A couple of weeks ago we added a new member to our family. At the time it was a Parsleyworm, which we found, strangely enough, on our parsley. We cared for it, loved it, named it Pet, and brought it with us on our vacation.

Pet wasn't much for travelling, so it spent the entire time up North in a chrysalis. This morning, however, it decided to come out of its shell.



Pet is actually a fairly pretty butterfly. Here is Pet trying to figure out exactly how it had fit into that tiny little shell.



And now Pet is being artistic.



Pet has since flown away, without so much as a "goodbye."

It's a touching story, I know.
