The last of the caterpillars we were sheltering has emerged from their chrysalis. Check out the retrotastic colorway on this buckeye spp. I guess it's time to go on a caterpillar hunt.

@tippitiwichet how did you shelter them?

@peeppeepcircus We have a few of those acrylic habitats for our habit of catching jumping spiders and keeping them for a few months, no spiders at the moment. So I used those, giving them plantain leaves as that's what we found three of them on so it must be a favorite. I put paper towels on the bottom that were replaced daily, and there was a single stick for them to climb, but i kept the plantain fresh and made sure they had enough for hiding and climbing. Misted occasionally for water.
