Caterpillar Diaries (Part 2)

Much hairier 2nd skin (with the old skin on the left)
A day on and I believe that the majority of my caterpillars have shed their skin. I'm still a bit confused on which has shed and which haven't, but there's no question that there's an obvious size difference and that they are much hairier than before. They also look a much blacker than the old skins now, so I am completely certain that the skin shed was successful. I was surprised that they turned out to remain black and not a shade close to green yet, though.

Not sure if this group has all shed yet, so I shall leave the cleaning out an extra day
