God's providence.

I thought you all would appreciate a story about God's providence. We are "raising" some passionfruit butterflies from the caterpillar stage to butterfly. These (like most butterflies) eat only one type of plant. In this case the passionfruit vine. And eat they do.. We had collected three caterpillars to allow to turn into cocoons (and then into butterflies) leaving many of their brothers and sisters out on the vines. During a late night run for some more leaves I accidentally brought in a tiny caterpillar (small enough that I was a bit afraid in could climb out of the holes in the lid). So there we were with four..and one very small one with the food source outside dwindling fast. The three older caterpillars all cocooned up ( in fact in the middle of typing this the first of them just emerged as a butterfly!!!). Back to the story..Well the leaves were all gone from the passionfruit in the garden and here we were with a caterpillar who needed about a week and a half of food. That day I was walking in the front yard by the fence and what did I spy a passionfruit plant which must have been deposited by a bird. I seems to be just enough leaves to get us to the cocoon stage of the last caterpillar (which should happen in the next day or two at the most). I just thought you ladies would enjoy the story
