Success!

Ok, I know it's only one, but I have a chrysalis! Yesterday one of the Freds went into the J shape which means they're about to form a chrysalis. I watched him all day and all that happened was that his antenna shriveled up. But by this morning he was in a chrysalis. I so hope this one hatches.

One of the large caterpillars managed to get out of the prison and has gone somewhere, who knows where. I still have 2 other huge ones so I hope they stay to make their chrysalis here as well, but hey ho! I have one.
Yippee.



Success... so far.

We're off to Auckland this weekend to see Roxy Music.

  5. well one of the others has gone into a chrysalis as well :) right near the front so I can see it really well. Again he did it overnight - went into the J yesterday afternoon. There's just one to go and he's simply gigantic!!
