After discovering yet another caterpillar dead after assuming "J" position, have decided to take remaining two caterpillars into semi-captive maintenance. Since this is the first time, and a spontaneous decision, cleaned out an old plastic juice bottle (using vinegar solution), cut several butterfly weed branches and filled bottle with water and immersed cut end of branches (as a vase), added cater-pillars, covered branches with tulle material, and placed on a chair on covered front porch. Also found another small maybe second instar caterpillar when cutting branches, so three total.
