Beautiful Butterflies

Sierra awoke one gorgeous August morning. She got up and ran out to look at her very own milkweed like she did each day. Sierra always hoped to find some monarch caterpillars on the milkweed, but there had been none so far. But today, the search was different. There was no monarch caterpillars on the plant, so Sierra went for a walk along the back fence. There was some plants, and Sierra thought maybe it was wild milkweed. Today, she found three big fat caterpillars. It had been several days since she had checked this milkweed. “Wow!” she exclaimed. “These are monarch caterpillars!” She broke some milkweed leaves off and put the caterpillars on them and took them back to the house. “Mom! Mom!” She exclaimed. “I found them, I found them!” Her mom answered sleepily, “Found what?”

“Mom, I found three big fat monarch caterpillars! They're so fat they look about to burst!” she answered excitedly. “I think they might go into cocoon soon!”

“Nice, honey. Close the door, please.” her Mom replied.

Sierra took the caterpillars to her butterfly net, and put them inside with some more milkweed.

She was excited that she had found caterpillars. Soon they went into Cocoon, and then hatched, and turned into beautiful Butterflies.

"It is amazing that they go from caterpillar to butterfly, and change colors and patterns. They are BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES!"

God made the butterfly. Evolution could never have made a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. It never could have changed the color and patterns. It was not evolution. It was God.
