This morning after breakfast around 800 am, I went to the old station to find if there were any more traces of the caterpillars on the curry plant. This time, my niece accompanied me to check and we were surprised to see that there were four more catties@caterpillar of the 2nd and 3rd instar; busy devouring the leaves. My niece was very excited and asked 'pakde, can I keep two of them for observation?' And so she did. I allowed her as to expose her to science of insect metamorphosis in the early years. After we observed and discussed, we set up a simple experiment, collected the caterpillars and placed in the enclosure with plant to feed on. Hopefully, this will encourage her to engage in science slowly.
