CABBAGE WHITE CATERPILLAR & EGGS 

 

CATERPILLARS ~ always hairy always nice

AND they're  never scary ~ and they never bite

THEY love to live on a cabbage leaf ~ they

EAT & EAT beyond belief ! They

REALLY  eat a cabbage leaf a day

PERFECT food for them OK !

I'D LOVE to be a caterpillar

LOVIN' cabbage ~ such an insect filler ! ~ One

LOVELY day ~ a day of bliss ~ I'll

ARRIVE from out me CHRYSALIS

READY to fly into the sky

SHUCKS ~ Holy Moly ~ I'm a BUTTERFLY !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

I raise CABBAGE WHITES for the students to observe

the Life Cycle from Egg ~ Caterpillar ~ Chrysalis ~ Butterfly

  • Comment from author about the poem: In the UK we have about 60 species of BUTTERFLY ~ and 2500 species of MOTH. Kid love them because they are non-threatening. The Cabbage White caterpillars are very friendly and enjoy the Cabbage Patch and the Butterflies are friendly too. Children should be taught to UNDERSTAND and RESPECT all insects. I teach potential NURSERY NURSES and I encourage them to study and handle worms and spiders etc and to teach the Preschool Children that insects are important in life's cycles. Spiders and worms are very important environmentally ~ cherish them ! Comments welcome ~ Love to you all and to all the Flora & Fauna ~ BRIAN XOX

    Great one Brian but some caterpillars do bite and some have hairy poisonous bristles or whiskers or whatever they call them. Looking forward to seeing the first Brimstone - should be about quite soon - mid- march last year.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      YES ~ Poetic licence I guess ! Butterflies know when to merge and are good seasonal indicators ! Thanks BRIAN

    • willyweed

      I am more familiar with the heavy equipment type but this was nice Brian.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        THANKS WILLY ~ I guess you also have BUGS in OZ ! BRIAN

        What a wonderful write. They teach the preschoolers about the lifecycle of a butterfly here. Very interesting. At any age! Hugs-Christina

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Yesit is a wonderful SUBJECT and something even Preschoolers can observe in Practice ~ from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. We use the Cabbage White because the caterpillars and the butterflies are very user friendly ! Hugs & Butterfly kisses ~ BRIAN

          Good write but even some of the UK caterpillars are a bit dangerous.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks FRIEND ~ Thanks for your comment ! We use Cabbage Whites to teach Children and Teens about the Life Cycle because they are harmless. We do also teach "Health & Safety" in the Countryside ~ yours BRIAN

            I prefer my cabbage without holes but I am willing to share. Just say a beautiful Monarch yesterday. Nice.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Well never forget that the land outside of our Concrete Jungles belongs to Nature' W have an allotment at College and I do grow my raspberries and other soft fruit ~ in a cage ~ to deter the Birds. However I plant my cabbages in the open and share a few "outside " leaves with the caterpillars ~ because I am invading their habitat ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
