Painted Lady Caterpillars prepare to pupate into a pupa
When the Painted Lady larva or caterpillar is about 2” long, it will pre-pupate into a pupa or chrysalis. It will release a red frass ball (waste) and then walk away from its food source.
The original caterpillars were mailed to me in individual cups with lid and artificial soybean food.
