We collected 3 caterpillars on September 28, they all went to a pupae stage in couple of days, now two out of three emerged! One took 24 days, another 25! On very cold night we took them inside, other then that they were under the porch. One pupae turned brown about a week ago :(
The two emerged butterflies are males, the one that emerged today around 4pm took a long time to dry its wings, and still hangs out in the marigolds in our garden, where we placed him after he emerged. We still have few nasturtiums, cosmos and marigolds in bloom, so hopefully he will have a meal before he departs tomorrow before the rain comes.
