My second set of
Papilio canadensis eggs (laid by my second female) finally hatched today! Only 2 of the 9 eggs haven't hatched yet. Here is my current inventroy for those keeping track:
- 7 mid-late instar caterpillars
- 7 first instar caterpillars
- 2 eggs
And here are some photos I took today
Egg:
1st instar:
Late intar:
The caterpillar colour pattern shouldn't change much after it reaches the above instar, although some
Papilio sp. caterpillars do turn brown just before they are about to pupate.
