Mrs B's Great Adventure (7) Her Babies

As expected, Monday May14 2018 was a day of birth as Mrs B's caterbugs emerged from their eggs.
Top left as you view shows the size of egg & 1st instar larva.
Top right & bottom left how cleverly they hide in plain view.
Bottom right, if you look closely, you can see a tiny caterpillar crawling out of his egg.

All of that caterpillar is squashed up inside that miniscule egg case? Amazing! x

I am glad that I know what they are or I would say - Yuk! Bugs! I am loving this science project with you. Great pictures and documentation!

@fbailey My caterbabies are keeping me occupied, meta morphosis is so very wonderful.
Thank you,

@gaylewood @julienne1 Thank you both. I never cease to be amazed at lepidoptera metamorphosis, it's thrilling and fascinating
