Caterpillar day 16

This post was really for yesterday but I ran out of time to upload it. The day started with 23 chrysalises, 7 caterpillars in their “J shape” and 4 caterpillars.

I set up the iPad to record an overnight time lapse video of a large cup of the caterpillars. It is 15 hours condensed into 30 seconds. Everything happens fast.

This morning we still have two caterpillars but they are laying on the bottom of the cups so I’m not sure if they will form their chrysalises.

I do have a 14 minute long video of a caterpillar forming it’s chrysalis and will try to set up a link for that.
