Now I always back there looking for caterpillars and my daughter and I will always take them home.or else they will be choooed away as the plant that they feed on are not the main plant. I have started an Instagram account to document this journey at @thecrazycaterpillarlady. Hope to connect with you. I put your blog as the link in my bio and hoping to help people understand more about Tawny Coster Caterpillar through you ��Rachel Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916101477689241486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-55904306193354234152020-12-02T09:53:26.933+08:002020-12-02T09:53:26.933+08:00It has changed to black and dark orange.

I was very fortunate enough to witness a Tawny Coster laying its eggs so I took the eggs home (about 14 of them). I have heard that one can raise the caterpillars in a container with holes but I am wondering if I should get a butterfly kit in order to ensure that they have plenty of room to pupate? Also, for them to hang upside down in the cocoon stage, how does one design the inside of the butterfly home in order to allow the caterpillars to hang during the pupating stage?<br /><br />Thank you in advance! Just want to have some advice as I want to make sure these beautiful creatures can thrive. miss hahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835984433398807771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-19953278864340122002020-03-04T19:04:44.114+08:002020-03-04T19:04:44.114+08:00Hello, may I use one of your photos on this page f...Hello, may I use one of your photos on this page for a STEM outreach programme to highschool students later this month?

BTW I didn’t know that caterpillars shed their face off too when the become a pupa. My Friend forgot to take a leaf from my teacher for her caterpillars and the next day she literally stayed back after school just to get the leaf but when she went home her caterpillar was already a pupa she even sent me a pictureAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839829848609256926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-36725859039696368942018-04-02T22:00:14.769+08:002018-04-02T22:00:14.769+08:00Great article.

Within a few days, it morph into a chrysalis and I was searching articles on white and black chrysalis to figure out what kind of butterfly would emerge. Lucky I found this site!<br /><br />It's been 3 days since the chrysalis was formed so we're eagerly watching out for the colour changeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816836102719287314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-8473930578934763582016-09-19T13:19:03.686+08:002016-09-19T13:19:03.686+08:00Hi Eric,

It's kinda difficult for us to be able to capture pictures of the entire process from egg to caterpillar so I'm wondering if it's OK for us to use some of the pictures from ur site to supplement what we have?<br /><br />We got some tawny coster caterpillars from oh farm that is in the 4/5th instar and should be able to get some pictures for the later part of the cycle, just missing the first few stages.<br /><br />Pictures will be solely used at the exhibition in her school on the 14th. We will definitely give references and credits due.<br /><br />Hope to have your permission and hear from you soon.
