We harvested eggs from some road side A, viridis because it was in an area that is mowed and/or sprayed with herbicide. The eggs have hatched and we are now rearing about 40 caterpillars. We have newly emerged ones to four that have made their chrysalis. We have noticed some amazing color differences in some of the larvae as the picture indicates. We use the eggs, larvae, chrysalises and adults to share the life cycle of these amazing butterflies with local elementary school children - hopefully it will inspire them to become more aware of living things around them and how important it is to protect the environment.
