Colourful Katie is already a true beauty, with those distinctive markings and big yellow eyes - she’ll be the talk of the town when she finally decides to become a butterfly. For now though, she’s in no hurry to grow up, it’s just so much fun being a caterpillar! When she’s not playing in the garden with her friends you’ll probably find her chomping her way through a juicy apple with a side salad of garden leaves. Well, she’s got a lot of plumping up to do before she’s ready for that cocoon!
