A pretty caterpillar....photos no. 3, 4, and 5.
Thanks Larry Graziano! In fact, I only created two to record the cycle. I was following the development of the caterpillars in the plant, but they were disappearing. I do not know if they disappeared because they were predated or because they were infected by Baculovirus (one of which I created, died with symptoms).
