Daisy and Olive don't have any pets, but at the moment we have some monarch caterpillars which are almost like pets.  We watch them all the time to see what they are doing, and we have to make sure they have enough swan plant to eat because they are very fussy and only like eating swan plants.  They ate up all of our swan plants though, and had none left to eat so a few of them died, and the ants ate them.  The rest crawled away and attached themselves to another leaf and turned into chrysalis'.  I will take a picture of a chrysalis tomorrow.  Do you know what the chrysalis will turn into?
