I released two BST today and have several in the nursery to emerge the next few days/weeks. I am concerned about one that I have, will attach a picture. It had began to shed it's skin to pupate, but it only split a little ways. I didn't see the action, but I think it may have died. It was one of two larger cats that I had missed bringing in early and may have been parasitized. I isolated it and will keep it contained in the small cage in case insects emerge. It doesn't move when touched like some will.
