Black swallowtail caterpillar successfully made it to the pupa stage. I was a little nervous because he went into his "j" pose for like 24 hours. (That's the last thing they do as a caterpillar - they start webbing themselves onto whatever surface suits best, and the next time you see them they're in a chrysalis.) Anyway, I came home from work today and found his last little skin shed on the floor of the tank, and him all brown and camouflaged-lookin'.
The spiky guy is doing something... I finally put a few sticks in his tank and he started going nuts. I've never seen a caterpillar web like this before.
(A better photo of him, now that I got my camera batts all charged)
(THE WEBINATIONNNNN)
AND, the orange seeds are sprouting. YAY!!!
