CATERPILLAR UPDATE It's the Catepillar J form! We know what that means....

CATERPILLAR UPDATE June 16th 2019:

As soon as I woke the next morning, I went outside to check on him and to my delight and relief, he had attached himself to the stalk and formed the reported J position.

I'm sure he's working on forming his chrysalis and I'm excited about the process.

I'm leaving him outside for now but if there will be rain, I'll move him to safety.  I will keep updating the caterpillar saga as we move through the stages.
