I've been watching my one and only surviving pipevine swallowtail cat eat his way around the vine, and he was just....piggish. Huge. And day before yesterday, I went out and he's in the sling.

This was super exciting; I've had them around but never saw them pupate before. His spots slowly turned from orange to greeny yellow, his spikes wilted and this morning, hey presto! A lovely chrysalis slung under the leaf, looking very leaflike, right down to the veins on the chrysalis.

THIS IS SO COOL! :)

ps...where's CalSherry gone to?
