Does someone know if this pupas are alive?
Cecropia cocoon, alive?

They seem alive to me.
Cecropia pupae can be very very dark, I was surprised too when I first had them. Also they are a tough species, I think they are ok -
But they have an unusual shape.
Their body looks rather sharp towards the bottom ,not round as the usual cocoons . -
Could be dried out and thus dead.
Do they feel "weightless"?
Do the water-test: throw them into a glass of water. If they sink or swim clearly below the surface, they are alive, otherwise they are dead.

They have failed the water test.
But they don't really feel weightless. -
I know you posted this over a month ago, any news?
I've found that if I give their abdomen a little wiggle and it's flexible it's still good but if it's stiff and hard that they are dried up and dead.
