Caterpillar in the rain, in R.'s garden, the next day. I think they will be too late to fly to Mexico, though they are eating quite fast, yea, it seems they will have to metamorphose next spring, and we, inshallah, will still be here waiting. 

Wrong. This caterpillar, inshallah, will metamorphose into a butterfly and journey to Mexico never having been there before.
