Today I went to clean out the jar I have my Euchaetes egles in and found I was missing one of them. ....How could that happen? They are in a glass mason jar and I have old style metal screen under the ring. There is no way out. Then I found a fuzzy little back lump. One of them has made it's cocoon. I wonder how long it will be untill it hatches.
Well I looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems it will be after the winter when it hatches.
Side note: I was looking at my first Monarch cocoon it looks like it's turning black. I hope this is just part of the process. I know that when they are about to hatch it is clear. Maybe this happens splotchy rather than all over slowly.
