Remember Wormy? The greenish looping fellow I got from buying a broccoli? Turns out that it’s a member of the moth family and is called the cabbage looper. I could still remember its pale green skin hiding in the broccoli. I’ve almost thrown the poor fellow but put it in container instead and wait till it morphs into something else. Seven days after putting it safely in a container, I noticed the pupae case was already opened!
Hurriedly I searched the corners of the container and saw it hiding on the darkest side. Its hind wings light brown and forewing with silvery white spots. It transformed into a mottled gray-brown moth. It’s beautiful! I did promise I’ll make sure to free it when it’s finally ready. Dawn came and I took the container out in the veranda and before opening the lid, I look at it once again and said my good bye … May the dust in your wings bring you freedom!
