Fluffy is growing!


We found Fluffy last Friday, 8th March. It was still a caterpillar then. Initially, we were still worried that  we were not giving it the correct food when it did not seem to be active. To our surprise, it turned into a pupa over the weekend! It is still currently at the 3rd stage of its life cycle before it becomes a butterfly. How long will it take to become a butterfly? Would it be a moth instead? We wonder...

    I think Fluffly is a rare specie of caterpillar because it is fluffly and most of the caterpillar are spiky & looks slimey but Fluffly does not look like that^_^

      That is a good observation, Xue Yin. Are you able to find out what species does it belong to?

      Well, there are several ways to distinguish a moth from a butterfly and one way is to observe its protective covering in its pupae stage. Do you remember that Fluffy was wrapped in a silk covering? Read the following and see if you could answer your own question, Bernice. =)

      Cocoon/Chrysalis:
      Cocoons and chrysalides are protective coverings for the pupa. The pupa is the intermediate stage between the larva and adult. A moth makes a cocoon, which is wrapped in a silk covering. A butterfly makes a chrysalis, which is hard, smooth and has no silk covering.

      Maybe Fluffy was on the floor and the cleaner saw a caterpillar and maybe the day before the cleaner saw Jin Kai taking Fluffy so the cleaner just pick Fluffy up and gave it to Jin Kai

      Thank you, Rich. I finally know how Fluffy came about! So it was the cleaner who found Fluffy in the bushes and put it into a container. He asked Jin Kai whether he wanted the caterpillar and Jin Kai agreed. Therefore, the cleaner gave the caterpillar to Jin Kai.

      We should thank the cleaner, shouldn't we?
