5 varying instar larva on tropical milkweed in enclosure. The 4th instar was found on milkweed today in backyard garden. The others were found after cutting was taken in for one larva that is now a pupa. These larva are in the second enclosure with several other pupa. Students can describe how much the larva have eaten by the amount of frass. Students can recognize frass, identify differing instar stages and spot signs of molting. Students are amazing me with their knowledge.
