We have a couple of wooly bear catapillars that came in on our clothing last fall/early winter.
Deciding they would be a good science project for the children, we put them in a mason jar and stabbed holes in the lid. I've been keeping a bit of water and alternating between basil and lemon balm stalks for them to live on.
I checked on them about a week ago and noticed one in a cocoon. Yesterday, I noticed the beginnings of another cocoon.
You can see the "hairs" of the new cocoom being formed. This morning, I noticed the cocoon was fully formed an will get pictures of it to upload later.
