And in today's caterpillar check-up...my moth caterpillars are pupating. Moths can take a lot longer than butterfly cats to pupate. So if you're raising a moth and it looks like it's shriveling and dying, just give it time.

This is one of my Woolly Grays.

This Woolly Gray is probably going to pupate soon. Its colors have dulled and it shrank.

Same story with my Oak Beauty.
