Our cloudless sulphur eggs (2) hatched today. I took a branch off the tree and put it in the butterfly house after the butterfly laid the eggs on June 1. The eggs were no longer there this morning, leading to a search for baby caterpillars. It took me a while to find them, as the edge of the leaves are the same color as the caterpillar and one of them crawled onto the vase completely camouflaged.
The caterpillar will turn green with yellow stripes, with blue patches on its side. It will grow 1.5″ in length.
