Field Notes

Description:

This is one I raise from caterpillar. The location of where the caterpillar was found is the location marked. Out of six that were collected 2 died of unknown causes, one died in it's cocoon, one still in it's cocoon and two have been released. It really is quite awesome to be able to watch the transformation unfold.
