Chrysallides!
"They were very good. I liked them."
-Eason Greene
The caterpillars all turned to chysallides (quite some time ago, I'm a bit behind on the blogging). They were amazingly beautiful when looked at up close. From a distance they looked a bit drab and dull, but up close they were iridescent with tiny gold dots. They have now all immerged, we managed to miss them all, some it seems by just minutes, but we've enjoyed watching them flutter around the cage and feed on orange slices. I think we'll release them today. Our temperatures are still a bit low, but I think they're coming to the end of their life cycle because one died (Eason wanted me to add in the obvious information I used to draw my conclusion).
