Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover

We recently became the proud owners of 10 darling, dainty, little caterpillars that are guaranteed to turn into magnificent Painted Ladies butterflies. Such sweet little creatures. Then they began to eat. And eat. And eat. Within about 48 hours they weren't so darling anymore. Nor so dainty. They are currently spiny, swollen, long bugs that make me sick to look at. Not so Chip. He thinks they're just beautiful and can't get enough of them.
I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder!
