These are shot in the living room and are of our pets that we got through mailorder from an online shop called world wide butterflies. The arrived as eggs and got pictures taken of them each day.

A selection of pictures of their development is here

This is them just comming from the egg about 2mm across

 

This one is showing off its red tail that it uses as a warning when the kids call their mom.

 

And this is the last of the larval stages where they are about 5cm long

 

 

As is this

 

 

The built them selves some cocoons about a week ago and we have been trying to find out how long they will take to pupate but have had conflicting reports, some say 12 days and others say they wont come out untill spring. Does anyone know roughly what the actual time is likely to be?
