On Thursday we saw our caterpillars make their way to the lid of their container and hang upside down from it- this means that they will shed their skin for one last time then create their cocoon. It is very important that we do not disturb the caterpillars during this important phase as it takes two days for the cocoon to harden and can break easily.
Once the cocoons have hardened we will transfer them into the butterfly garden.
