Yep, our five caterpillars are continuing their transformation into butterflies by hanging from the lid of their container and starting to develop irridescent cocoons. It's the pupal stage. We're going to move them to their transitional net home tomorrow, and add oranges and such in a few days. We should have butterflies (though not necessarily 5; apparently 3-5 is considered normal) within 7-10 days. Let's just hope it warms up some more--they need it to be 55F to survive (and there have been a few chillier nights).
We have rabbits and if I can catch the little devils I shall grow them, breed and bingo...food.
