Growing Babies
Today my caterpillars, or at least two of them, turned yellow. Compared to last night, it's skin seemed a little looser. I was afraid I hurt it or something, because I ran out of the leaves it was hosting on so I put some other leaves in, just in case they'd feed on it as well.
Anyway, I would like to assume it is a normal phenomenon, and that it's really just part of the process of metamorphosis. They also stopped moving around the way they were yesterday, and the munching stopped!!!
I noticed by this evening, however, that they formed a tent-like structure (or as my cousin Maia said: a cocoon motel) and are getting quite squishy looking (meaning wet). I hope this means they'll pupate soon!!!
Anyway, my colleague Tina saw my teeny-tiny case c/o Bee, and said the caterpillars looked kinda cramped. So she brought me a big aquarium. Here's their new home!!!
2 stars twinkling:
o.m.g.
but yes, amazing how their appearance changed in less than 2 days!
naisip ko lang, once they turn into bubba-flies (to remind you that bubba misses you hehehe), will you let them go? or will u make a butterfly sanctuary in playschool? hmmm... that would be nice!
i know!!! super galing talaga! i hope maabutan ko pa ang pag emerge nila. of course i will let them go...they wont survive in captivity :-(
