Dear Diary,

So this is it. I'm feeling a little sad that I no longer will be writing in this diary. Unfortunately there is noone to pass this diary onto. The diary will therefore come to an end, though not dead. Hopefully someone one day will find it, and if not carry it on, at least read it.

I have no choice but to turn into a chrysalis, I can feel it happening now. At least now that there isn't anymore caterpillars the aphids can be dealt to. Diary you have been a great companion, writing side-by-side. You have been passed down through generations of my family. You know our inner most thoughts without complaining. For that w (...)

Dear Diary

This morning I happened to wake up on my back. As I looked up I saw my cousin hanging off the roof (she's a chrysalis). You have to wonder why she would attempt a climb like that. If my Aunty knew she would be so worried about my cousin falling off (she is such a worry-wart).

Things are starting to unwind. I think the people must be going in to hibernation soon, I think I heard them talking about two weeks of sleeping. They don't go into a chrysalis do they?

Dear Diary,

The aphids still won't go away, there's no food and I'm hungry. Today I climbed the NZ flag looking for food, but there was none. I'm so hungry and I know all of my other friends are too. Two days ago the forest moved in together, now all of the food in the forest has been eaten. I'm to fat to do or go anywhere but I'm still hungry. Poor me (oh and everybody else haha). None of us know what to do, what to eat - I hope someone tells us soon as noone seems to know. Help?

I cannot believe that I'm a late developer like my brother and I'm nothing like him, I know that for a fact. I just want the chrysalis thing to happen.

Today an army of aphids invaded our plants and ate everything we had. I couldn't believe it, neither could any of my friends. Also a chrysalis fell off the tree. Someone taped it back on again. One of my larger friends is dying because he ate too many aphids.

I feel like crying. Hopefully the aphids will give up and go home. On the brighter side there are lots of off-spring so when my time comes to turn into a chrysalis I will have a large selection of family to hand it on to.

Dear Diary

My forgetful sister neglected to give me the diary. So I had to hike 5 pot plants! As I was hiking the weight just dropped off me, I'm sure my weight-watcher buddy's will be very impressed.

I am very privileged to take over this diary as I love writing not like my lazy sister. I hope I never turn into a chrysalis as I love writing in this diary (LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!).

Sis comes out of her chrysalis in two more days. She's looking rather slim, maybe she did a bit of hiking too.

Dear Diary,

Finally my time has come to turn into a chrysalis and to hand over this stupid diary. Now I can occupy my annoying little sister with it. I hope she hates it. Then again she probably won't because she likes writing. I will pray that those evil little aphids don't eat my chrysalis (they are so aggravating).

Every now and then forests move in and the latest one I went over to met the new caterpillars and they invited me to dinner. It was a bit embarrasing because when I was eating pudding I started to attach to the leaf and white stuff was coming out of my mouth yuucck. So once again goodbye diary.

Dear Diary,

Today it is April fools day. I played a really good joke on Mum. I was pretending to eat a leaf that a chrysalis was hanging onto. Mum nearly fell out the window. It was tempting to push her and I was smirking.


I have been wondering who to pass the diary onto. I only have siblings as there are no off spring yet. I could pass it on to my younger sister, to keep her busy so she won't annoy me. Brother still hasn't come back with a wife. I really need to go into a chrysalis now as it is getting harder to lug myself around.
