  • Yeah well since it's not moving I'm keeping it in the container and making sure the sand stays moist. It's raining so much that if I leave it outside if it is pupating it will drown... And seriously if it is dying it's taking a really long time! It's been a week! Question do some caterpillars take the body shape of a butterfly before making their cocoon?
