These little guys sure like to eat! Last night I happened to glance over at the jar, their little "home", and it looked all dark, so I picked it up to take a closer look. Low and behold, the little suckers grew at least three times bigger than just 24 hours earlier! They really stirred up their wax like food and spun a lot of silk. By next week they should be ready to go into their next developmental stage. I will keep you updated!
The caterpillars and their brown food. You can see all the silk threads they have been spinning as well. Apparently the silk makes it easier for them to get around, and is a sign of their well being.
Compare their size below, that was just 5 days ago!

Wow!! Det var ena hungriga rackare! Vad kul för både dig och din dotter att kunna studera det hela på nära håll!
Wow de har sannerligen varit upptagana med att äta och växa. Spännande!
