The caterpillar was last instar so I don't know how long it takes from egg to mature caterpillar
Thanks for the dates! It is amazing all of this happens in a short amount of time!
updated info
Ill add the dates as soon as I can
Awesome series, Keith! Could you tell us the dates for each of the photos, so we have a general idea of how long their life cycle took?
Lots of great photos tell me how they look
