Great document ofthe ZLW Mellie.

LOL Cat!!

Quoting:Mellie...have you notice the gold markings on the ZLW chrysalids? They are awesome.

Yes they are awesome, and btw the Julia also has gold specks on their chrysalids. Makes ya wonder where the gold comes from... so real looking, so sparkly.

Elaine~ I am certain the cat you have will become a moth, haven't looked up which one yet. Did you find it?

Besides the 3 Gulf Fritillary chrysalids I have in a box, several Silver-spotted Skipper cats out in the garden, and surely more I just haven't found yet.....
Here are 3 cages with, (r - l) Brazilian Skipper cats, Cabbage White cats, and about 4 Giant Swallowtail eggs. Magnes told me someone was laying eggs out there last week, he just wasn't sure if it was a TST or a GST. (She was flitting close to both the Hercules and the Hop.)
My son had a few of his friends over to see all the cats and plants, and one of the twins found an egg on the H. clava. I checked the other Hercules (hirsutum) and found a total of 4. :-)
