Mar 26: Hanging Out

Adoption Day Number: 8

What do the Painted Ladies look like?
They have stuck themselves on the top of the lid using the last pair of legs on their body. They have curled the head up to look like the letter "J". The 3 pairs of legs from the front are all clustered together.

When I grabed the cup to take a closer look, the caterpillar began to sway around. We thought they were going to spin the web around themselves. Instead, I think they are going to dry up. Today they have not done much, all they do is just hang there.

We have completed their new butterfly home! We will place the branch in after I stick the painted ladies on the box top.

What will happen next?
We think the caterpillars are going to dry up and form their covering.
