Caterpillar Update

On Friday, when I got up and checked on the caterpillars in the morning I saw that two of the Painted Ladies had formed a chrysalis! The biggest one that is left is about 3.5 cm.


The Spicebushes are about 3.5 cm. They aren't growing very fast, maybe because it has gotten a lot cooler here. They seem healthy though.


The sulfurs are about 6.5 - 7 mm now.


The five tiny Black Swallowtails are around 4 mm.


Still pretty much the same adult butterflies around, but in smaller numbers.
