I have 9 larvae which hatched from eggs collected within 6 blocks of my home. One has been stuck attempting to molt for past 18-24 hours. It is moving very little now. It did not appear discolored, disfigured or behave any differently than the others until it became stuck. Do you want this caterpillar once deceased?

This is my 2nd batch. The first was composed of 4 eggs which were also collected within 6 blocks of my home. They were all female. 1 of the chrysalis fell from its stick and landed on the paper towel in the aquarium where they live. This happened early and the pattern from the paper towel imbedded in the chrysalis wall. When the butterfly emerged her wings were slightly asymmetrical however she flew off with the others without apparent difficulty.
