Of course, Hubert has to fully break from his chrysalis while I’m in class, unable to witness it. But I am not upset in the slightest! Hubert is finally a butterfly (which means the name of this blog will be changing as of today), and sooner than I had expected! I remember my prediction lastContinue reading “2/13/2020, Part 2!!”

If you look closely, you can see the design on Hubert’s wings through the chrysalis! He isn’t out of it yet, but he will be soon! I can feel it! So excited for his grand return!

Nothing has changed. Still a chrysalis. However, I did notice some shaking earlier before taking this picture. I think it’s almost time! Maybe he’ll be out by the time the goal date hits!

Hubert is still a chrysalis. The lid he rests on is still holding up. Nothing much has been going on with him. I wonder what exactly happens in that chrysalis of his. Perhaps I will research it later and find out.

Still a chrysalis. However, I could have sworn I saw him moving a bit before I went to bed last night. Maybe it’s almost time, and sooner than I predicted! We’ll see! Stay tuned!

Although Hubert is doing nothing, the chrysalis is doing something. It looks as if it’s changing from more of a greyish color to brown! I assume this means Hubert is still very healthy and that the metamorphosis process is going very well. This is honestly very interesting to me because when Hubert was in theContinue reading “2/9/2020”

No new changes as of yesterday. The lid is still holding up real well, even though the tape job is still questionable. It’s been a week by now, so my prediction is that next week, I will have to change the blog title from “Hubert the Caterpillar” to “Hubert the Butterfly”. Let’s hope I’m right!

Finally moved Hubert to a bigger cup! (Yes, I’m aware it’s something from prom, but I honestly never used it and probably never will except for this.) I noticed as I was moving him that the chrysalis IS, in fact, fully developed and that there is simply something hanging off of the chrysalis. It sortContinue reading “2/7/2020”

Still no movement. I understand this is what’s supposed to happen when metamorphosis occurs, but Hubert isn’t even completely transformed because there’s still a part of him left. I am a little concerned for him because of this fact. Still, I have high hopes for him, and I plan on getting him a bigger confinementContinue reading “2/6/2020”

Still in the same position that he has been for the past three days or so. I was a little worried that he might be dead, but I did see him shaking around a little bit. My guess is that he’s getting ready to change some more. I was also thinking he may be crampedContinue reading “2/5/2020”
