This picture was taken on the 19th...the biggest caterpillar formed it's "J" that evening and 24 hours later became a chrysalis. What was , just hours earlier an active eating, pooping wave-legged bug, is suddenly a still, silent gold-spangled trinket hanging from a twig. So interesting ( and slightly scary ! ) to observe these caterpillars make these critical changes in the relentless succession that nature demands.
The teeny tiny hatchling is not in this picture...it had not hatched yet.
