Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I woke up today and checked on the caterpillars and I noticed this .. At first I thought it was a baby next to the caterpillar but then I noticed that the caterpillar was bigger than it was before and it's face and legs had turned orange! Is this the caterpillars skin from shedding and growing?
