![]() I left it be for about two weeks, and after that I moved the jar (which was always without a lid as he couldn't climb the glass) into an empty fishtank (you know, the square plastic ones with the lid full of airholes). I did find a cloth of earth, because rather than spinning a REAL coccoon he had just made a matted (sort of like a dreadlock) clumb of earth to transform in. Usually I could see him marching about his jar snacking on fresh greens, but now, nothing. So after about a week, suddenly I didn't see the cheery Houdini after sunset. All winter heardy, so I could at least release him when he turned into a moth (I could have released him as a caterpillar too, but his chances weren't good with all the wildlife in our garden). , For those wondering, no not the stage magicianmy pet caterpillar, which I found on some organic kale and kept.Īt first I was convinced he was the larvae of the yellow underwing, but the more I read up about them, the more I realised he could be, but he could also be the larvae of one out of 3 other moths. ![]() Animals, bugs, caterpillar, cats, chocolate, daily photo, easter, insect, loa, moth, pets, photo of the day
