SUCIDAL CATERPILLARS!

HELP! SUICIDAL CATERPILLARS ACROSS THE ISLAND!

This is no joke peolpe. Today on Annie and I's morning walk - Annie is Lori and Rolyn's daughter - i was witness to 10 suicides... of furry little bugs. You see, Annie is really into nature. Every day her mission is to "save" nature as she like to call it. While walking down to the park she decided that we could save all the creatures that were crawling into the road.("Saving" means pick them up and throw them in the grass.)

I started to notice that there were alot of caterpillars out. After we had seen 2 that were definitely not moving i decided that i would stop informing young Annie when i saw a immotile furry thing on the road. Luckily, young children tend to think that non moving black things are just dirt on the road so she was not very aware of them. We saved 6 caterpillars today; she was proud.

I, on the other hand am a tid bit mortified by all this death. I mean, what is there to be sad about. All caterpillars do are eat, crawl, eat and eventually engulf themselves in a cacoon. After about a month of being inside there personalized house they are released into the world as beautiful, graceful butterflies. Sounds like the life.... but i guess not.
