Im not sure is it right to make a new thread, but I can't found another to post this video.

Very interesting is the color of the eggs. First they are green, but within few seconds they change color to ~white.

the green caterpillar live now. maybe it will became pupae. the caterpillars which turn green 2-3 weeks before ( I think they are in L3 and L4 ) are dead after 1-2 days.

is hand pairing working easy with this species? or only natural pairing works?

Thanks for your answers!

Hi,

I have problem with my morpho peleides. I think they are in the 4th instar?, but one of them turn into green.
Before one week one caterpillar do similar and before 2-3 weeks an other too.
What is the problem with it?

I've attached a pictures from a good condition caterpillar. Is it on 4th or 5th instar?
