Metamorphosis

At the most interesting point, the video ends. Did the butterfly even do a proper job? It was hard for her on a smooth table far from her native cocoon and any other rough substrate, it was good that at least at the last moment they thought to podolozhit the piece of wood.

Good evening." there was no one to suggest it. But I already compressed the video 8 times. Although he wrote on three cassettes. After the flower, after more than two hours, I read that a mosquito net is just the thing for snagging. And there was no cocoon at all. I didn't expect to see a pupa either. more than six months ago, the caterpillar stopped moving and halved in size. Changed the color and I already read how to save the best" stuffed " caterpillar...I read that it was necessary to inflate it with a syringe and dry it, but the next day the caterpillar "inflated" me and left behind dry "fragments" of "skin" overnight turned into a pupa twice its size. I then read that it is necessary to tie the chrysalis to the "branch" with a thread, but I could not tie it. And I decided to come what may, leaving the pupa in a supine position. My biggest disappointment is that the pear peacock eye (butterfly) doesn't eat anything... On the mosquito net, the butterfly felt much more confident. This is a fact.

So did you do it properly or not? It's strange that there was no cocoon, usually Piri builds a pretty solid cocoon. I couldn't tell if it was a female or a male. If a female, you can try to lure a male at night to her smell. It's still a little early, but what if.

So did you do it properly or not?

I guess that's not normal.

Sorry.
