It's that time of year again, when the kids (and myself) get overly invested in the lifecycle of these grubs. Last year we managed maybe a 10% success rate (from egg to butterfly) hopefully we'll do better this time round.

Thank you, I've been away from my butterflies this year so it's nice to see this.
Hope you do well too. In recent years I have taken to giving precarious cocoons (attached to green leaves etc) a safety rope made out of cotton so they won't fall, seems to work.
