We have been raising caterpillars, some from eggs. Two have died (unknown causes) but we have released 3 males and 2 females over the last week. Such a delight to observe the metamorphosis! We currently have 24 caterpillars from 1st instar to last and 8 chrysalids. We are doing this because the predation from soldier beetles and yellow jacket wasps was distressing to witness.
