# Important Caterpillar Update

Breaking News!

Our caterpillars have started to pupate.

We arrived this morning to find three of them hanging from the top of their pot.  Throughout the day we noticed one in particular starting to look different as it shed its skin and became more chrysalis-like.

By the end of the day another had joined it.

We expect them all to be ready to transfer to the net ahead of their next transformation by the end of the week.
