Somebody gave them to my little nephew. He's just a toddler so naturally now I have to take care of them for him. They seem to be in different stages right now. One of them has wrapped itself into a green pouch, one of them is just suspended in the same hunched position for 2 days now. The third one is still moving around sluggishly. I'm worried when you say that the silken girdle keeps the pupa upright. The one in the green pouch is on the floor of the container and looks a lot smoother and greener than the one in the photo. Been two days as well. Do you think it will be able to make it? How long does the metamorphosis go on? They are magnificent little creatures... I really hope they can make it Hi I have 3 of those right now. Somebody gave them to my little nephew. He’s just a toddler so naturally now I have to take care of them for him.
