moult & pupate



during cleaning, i was aware that my green caterpillar kun moulted(脱皮ね) & became a pupa(サナギになるね).

these couple of days, he (she?) didn't eat anything, & eventually became not to move at all. i thought it died.

but this morning, i found he (she?) was trying losing his skin (almost finished), then i got what it meant. yes "moult". at that time, his head part was very very yellow green.

after i got to home in this evening (just now), i again found his yellow green part has tuned kind of brown & it's exactly silky.

now he (she?) is becoming a cocoon. & maybe become a butterfly... no it will be a moth!
