Is this caterpillar dead

last modified: 6 years ago
I have raised this black swallowtail caterpillar and all was going well as he started to look for a place to pupate then all of a sudden I come back and he is squirming around on the floor and seems to be unable to climb please help me. thanks!
Edit: he is fine I just woke up today and he is in his little silk hammock.
