They're emerging!
We raised these imperial moth caterpillars from eggs, overwintering 24 pupas. Just went through a heat wave and the first 2 babies emerged overnight. I don't think they're fully inflated yet, he tried flapping when I scooped him up and couldn't fly yet.
One question if anyone knows about their reproduction *stuff*... One already laid eggs?? Could they be not fertilized eggs or are they gonna be incest babies??
