6.12.12

This first generation of Monarch caterpillars for 2012 has put the frass stage in the past!  Frass is the formal name for Caterpillar poop.  On the right, the frass is from a newly hatched one day old caterpillar, on the left, the frass is from a caterpillar whose 'caterpillar stage' is coming to a close.  BIG difference!  But, as I have said, the frass stage is in the past for this generation, I just have two caterpillars waiting to change, and are in the last 24 hours of their caterpillar life.  These two no longer eat, they are just preparing themselves for the pupae stage!
