I was walking with my mum and dad going back from a walk to the duck pond when on the cycle path my dad saw a black caterpillar nice ‘n’ fat with orange fur it was wriggling from the grassy side of the path my Dad got a leaf and put it in front of the Caterpillar and it crawled on it immediately we heard a click snip click sound from the caterpillar as it it slowly munched through the leaf my Dad and Mum pulled up grass and plants with the right leaves it didn’t eat the grass so if we took it home we could pull some up from our back garden and feed it but the stuff don’t grow in my garden i pulled off my NO FEAR baseball cap and put the caterpillar in the cap then put leaves in it the moment we dropped it in the cap it rolled up in a ball we couldn’t take it home or it would die so we dropped it in a side were it was hidden and plenty of grass to eat it couldn’t be found or crawl out.
