This was great thanks for shinarg! It is amazing how they change so much as they molt and grow.It was interesting how the caterpillars were not all the same size/stage at the same time. A few years ago I observed the development of a clutch of milkweed tussock moth caterpillars, another species in which the eggs are laid in clusters rather than singly, and they were similar in that some caterpillars developed more quickly than others.Your variegated fritillary video was cool too! What a beautiful chrysalis!- Joanne
