Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Where does a monarch larva pupate? On the milkweed?, 1 by jamlover

He's just hanging straight down. At first he was in a j shape but for 24 hours he's just straight. I wiggled the jar a little to see if anything happened but he just swung with the jar. Seems like his color is a little duller than before. Maybe amost gray. A leaf I put in for then yesterday has been half consumed by the other one!! And that's a big leaf. I had to remove the tip to fit it in the 2 qt. jar.

The other one after chomping for 24 hours on the new leaf crawled up and is just sitting on the underside of the screen lid. He moves his head (or rear) when I moved the jar a little.

Yesterday while I cleaned the jar and put in the fresh leaf dh held the screen very carefully. Maybe that was to much activity while he was getting ready to pupate.
