A pupa cunningly concealed under a leaf and 2 pupae & one larva (now also a pupa) on a single leaf.
These are from the Outside Ones, all brought in after they stripped their food source during 4th instar. Their development has been normal, bringing the early batch inside for some still unknown reason accelerated their progress. The 4 pupae are approaching eclosion, butterflies expected this weekend.

@bigmxx Getting there. I'm sure we'll have Brimstones this weekend, the pupae darker and then they will become transparent - and then I'll miss the birth!

@fbailey It's 14 days since the Big 4 pupated and I'd expected the chrysallis to be transparent, revealing their gender. They all look healthy but the wait continues...
