Released one female we saved out of two dozen caterpillars throughout our yard that were being picked off by birds, raccoons and dragonflies one by one. We feed this one for only two days and she formed her chrysalis and emerged nine days later. She took to the sky and was out of our yes and out of sight in about fifteen seconds. We found two more eggs and are raising them inside and they are both in their third instar stage.
