1) Monarch egg on MW's flower. I've also collected another egg that was laid on the underside of a leave on another plant. I'm monitoring both of them and try to find out if the two will hatch the same time?
2 - 5) are various pix of the 3rd instar. I watched these cats, some traveled to the bottom of the cage and pupate, it takes them about 24 hours for the process, once they shed their skin, they were slow and sluggish, as they become more active, they begun to return to the MW to continue eating. I'd not try to disturb the cats while they're motionless awaiting to shed their outer skin.
