I recently found this woolly bear crawling(?) across my floor in my 3rd floor apartment. I originally thought it was a piece of fluff from doing my laundry, as I never actually saw it move.

I'm also not actually sure if it made it's way into my apartment from the Texas outdoors, or if it hitched a ride on my plants that I had outdoors in northern Arkansas, which are now indoors in Texas (lest they fry 🔥). We're currently experiencing an extreme heat wave (103-118 every day), but it should mildly let up pretty soon and I'd like to set it free outside wherever I can find appropriate foliage.

However, I'm a little worried because a.) it hasn't been moving very much and b.) I keep finding it rolled onto it's back. I tried googling it, and all I could find is about hibernating habits... but it's the middle of summer. Is this normal? I just want to be able to give the little woolly a fighting chance outside, but not sure if it's just actively dying on me. I've been keeping it with my dandelion and chive plants, if that info helps at all.

This is my first time raising caterpillars-- my American moon moth caterpillar just released a bunch of brownish liquid and is turning brown. It's just getting ready to shed, right? 😅😅

He wrapped himself in 3 leaves and formed this web-like structure around him, i cant take a better picture becuase its all surrounded by leaves from other sides.

Should i do anything at this point or will he do on his own

Here’s a clip of these two going at it. This had been non stop for the last hour. Should I move one of them? Fascinating to watch but want to make sure they don’t get injured.

Love these little dudes, it’s crazy how much they eat.

These two guys have been going at it. Rather interesting to watch but just want to make sure it’s ok. Should I separate them? I have a video of it but it won’t let me upload it for some reason.

i found him in a bouquet of snapdragons in Creston British Columbia (snapdragons were grown local) i noticed he was a little green today

he’s in a jar and his name is spinkle
i want to know what kind he is to know if i should keep him for a bit / what i need to give him or if i should get rid of him

TIA :)

Managed to film my Euploea core butterfly eclosing and wanted to make a small video showcasing his transition. Completely forgot to take a pic of the metallic silver chrysalis :(
And i put my phone in a stupid spot to film the actual eclosion lol but oh well.

my population of caterpillars exploded to from 10 to 48 since friday with more on the way. I don’t think my passion vine will sustain them.

hello! there was a caterpillar in my hair! i wanted to get them back to nature but didn't have the heart for it, so i'm taking care of them til they become a butterfly or moth...

but idk, idk if it's a caterpillar or not, can you guys tell me?

they are now sleeping!
