Sadly, I had my fourth (of 53) caterpillar die.  I'm not exactly sure why, but while doing research as to what could be the cause of a caterpillar only half pupating and then suddenly dying, I have read that this 'catty' could have either has a parasite passed from its parents genetic materials (ie: sperm and egg) before it even hatched, or that it just didn't have the energy necessary in pupating.  Sad.
