Calling this little guy done. This is a lowland streak tenrec from Madagascar. The bright yellow is to tell others to back off! They have little spikes all over their bodies that help them with defense. Love these little gremlins. They are bold and unafraid, shaking their spikes at a tempted foe

😢 looks like one of the pupaes little stabilizer threads broke. Worried this guy might not make it. Notice how one is bent backwards? Not sure what to do

Three chrysalis encased caterpillars, one is bent backwards more than the others

Bones is enjoying watching the caterpillars begin to pupate too 🥰

Better picture

A catterpillar suspended under a branch, perfectly still, soon to molt and be a chrysalis

We’ve got our first Pupate Canidate 😍 I have a feeling I’ll see a cute little brown chrysalis here in a few days. Caterpillar to butterfly is such magic

A catterpillar holding onto a stick with its back legs, you can’t see them in the picture, but two silken strings hold the rest of the caterpillar against the stick so it is roughly perpendicular to the stick.
The caterpillar isn’t moving and preparing to pupate.

Tube children update: (These are black swallowtails and they are dining on parsley)

Green yellow and black striped caterpillars

One small catterpillar that is black with a saddle of white on its back nest to two significantly larger caterpillars

A size comparison of the 2nd in star and the final in star of the caterpillars. One is maybe a 5th of the size as the other

K | Science Nature & Art (and weirdness)@ksciencearts· Aug 9

They are eastern black swallowtails 😁

Garden critters from the week

Two blue tailed skinks. One is significantly larger than the other. The larger one’s tail is more faded and scarred. Part of it looks as though it may have grown back at some point. The smaller has a very bright, almost metallic looking blue tail.

Little update on a thing I’m making now that’s it’s past the “peeled lumpy potato” phase. I’ve only stabbed my finger once so far 😅 This is taking me a while but it’s been a nice way to decompress before work. Tiger is from K-pop demon hunters and traditional Korean art

The teeth are a bit rough lol

My cat knows my routine so well that when I get home from work, instead of greeting me at the door she just starts run meowing to the bathroom and waits for me on the bath mat 😂

Really easy to make! Take a bunch of larger PVC tubes and add curved junctions, put In a pot with rocks at the base and maybe add a water loving plant + a solar powered light. Frog hotel!
