The metamorphosis, from caterpillar to Painted Lady Butterfly, takes about three to four weeks. Currently, they are busy spinning silk and getting ready to form their chrysalids and enter the pupa stage.
The photo is not the best, as it was taken through the glass of their home which is now filled with silk fibers. This little guy may be not be the best looking guy on the block but just we wait and see what happens to him.

Oh yea! My boys and I did this last year and loved it! It was one of the neatest things I have ever done. We are actually waiting on our ladybug larve to arrive.
Can't wait to see what happens!
We did this 2 years ago (wish I had my DSLR for that) we actually saw the butterfly come out. I took pics of the whole thing. It was very cool. I can't wait to see your pics!
How fun!! I should totally do something like that with my kids... not sure why I never thought of it... just figured we'd "run" into it in nature someday. Looking forward to seeing the progress of your guy!
Wow, that sounds like a really cool project. Can't wait to see more.
Well, we said we wanted to take pictures of babys- I guess this works!
I can't wait to see your chronicles of the different stages!
Okay, I'm a little squeamish I have to admit. Yes, call me a wuss!
This is so cool! I can't wait to see what he turns out to look like!
