UPDATE.... still waiting

"What is it?" you ask. Well these are our pupas that we are awaiting to emerge. They are still in this pupa stage and has been for 5 months. And yes we still have them. We have them outside in a safe place where they are exposed to the natural elements of weather.
On the above picture you will see the 2 large brown hairy things and a smaller white smooth thing on top of the one brown hairy thing which are the different pupas (3). The white pupa is a different kind of caterpillar that Shae caught and it began spinning its web around itself immediately after she put it in her bucket. They other 2 have an amazing story and are 2 of North American's Largest Cecropia Moths.
Click here if you missed the original post of how these came about and what they looked like when we caught them and amazing pictures of them inside their cozy homes while waiting for Spring.
