Caterpillars [update]

Green caterpillars spotted on our 5.5 feet tall Periwinkle Vinca. Next 2 days, we've collected total of 8 caterpillar and feeding them fresh periwinkle leaves 4 times a day. They nap sometimes for about 15 minutes before munching again. Heavy eaters as well as "shitters" so need to clean out the glass bowl periodically. The fun part is when enticing them with fresh leaves to retrieve them from the bowl. Very sporting

A pair of bright 'False-eyes' formed on each caterpillar a day laterOnce they turned brown, they stopped eating (and shitting as well). They vibrate themselves as if electricity shock if we ply them with food or any touches. Pretty sensitive buggers. This change took about 2 days from when we caught them, as they were already matured in size, 4-inch long x half inch wide.

Next stage, we think they turned into 'pupa' after 3 days of inactivity. This snapshot taken a week after.

5 surviving pupas, they wiggled a bit when moved. They seem to be sensitive to sounds as well.

Bottom pic is its head that came off when they changed into pupa.

I'll be adding a video of these wigglys soon. Stay tune!
