The Polydamas cats seem to be doing ok on the a. tomentosa. I was beginning to think my second group of eggs would never hatch but this afternoon they all decided to come out. So now I have about 40 caterpillars (give or take a few). This morning I had them sitting on my desk (in Gladware) and one of my employees saw and asked what critters I had today. I showed them to her and she couldn't believe how tiny they were. She said she thought of caterpillars as "big and furry". I told her moths were the furry ones whereas butterfly cats are mostly smooth. I assured her they would get much, much bigger and I'm going to have to show them to her in a couple of weeks when they're huge!
