I live in Springfield Missouri... I always thought they made the sack and then drilled a hole and layed there eggs like it that way I never knew or even thought they could hang upside down and lay them that way..

I've wanted to capture a caterpillar in to a butter fly before but I have yet the chance to.. ive got LOTS more pics like i said i took that ever few secs..our cam holds like 3000 pics and then i switch out sims cards i can take 3000 more lol.. its not a expensive cam but i do want one that take better pics..

Natalie, I would have thought even further south. Huh. I grew up just east of St. Louis over in Il and don't ever remember seeing egg sacs like that! Very cool.

I hope you get your catapillar/butterfly pictures! That would be neat!

How's your T doing Lori? Everytime I open this thread I tense up, expecting bad news... glad to see that there hasn't been any yet...

[Lori P]

Oh, ah, well, I haven't checked. I mean, she is in her little dark corner still curled up but whether she's alive I don't know... I don't want to disturb her anymore. I'll check tonite tho.

I don't blame you Lori... I think I shared with you guys that I made my son check on Sly this spring cause I hadn't seen him in a while... thankfully he was fine, but yeah... I didn't notice our T doing anything unusual when he passed. One day I checked on him and he was just gone

Ok guys. Tatiana is still alive, still curled up. I need a general concensus on what to do. I'm calling my vet today, too.

Do I let her die on her own?

Do I find a humane method to euth? Is freezing humane? Would I cool her slowly by putting her in the fridge first, or straight to the freezer?

I could have hubby take care of her somehow, I suppose...

Aaaaargh.

I'd put her straight to the freezer... they get cold then are in a state of euphoria and feel nothing then they go to sleep... I know it's hard to say good bye but really this is the only humane thing to do...
