Little Bit of Metamorphosis
I should have posted yesterday but I didn't have a chance. In the early morning hours my largest and first caterpillar crawled up to the top of my enclosure and made him/herself a chrysalis. It all went well and they seem healthy. I wish I would have photographed the process but the lighting was never right.
The beautiful pupa.
The other caterpillars are growing and eating everything. I haven't noticed any irregularities. One of my caterpillars however was unaccounted for this morning which concerns me. It could have been a death, or just overlooked. I'm notorious for miscounting too so you never know. As of now there are twelve caterpillars and one chrysalis.
Friendly face.
These two are my largest.
So far so good, and not much else to say. I didn't post for two days which feels so strange! But there wasn't a lot of fantastic events, so no one missed much. Maybe with the next two I'll be able to photograph or film the process of becoming a chrysalis. Until next time :)
