Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: When I found this catterpillar it was on Milkweed. There was grass around and an odd thisle. The 1st pic - pale hairs was what it looked like when I brought it in. I brought it into an aquarium to see what it turned into. In 3 days it "moulted". It's pale skin was on the bottom of the tank and it was now the colour of the 2nd pic.- brown hairs. It has been busy eating the milkweed. I was hoping it would turn into a chrysalis but it hasn't yet. Does anyone know what it might be?
