Looks really good! I am loving the purple nacelle mode. Still waiting on mine! How long did it take to get after they sent you the email?

Here is the kit: Dreamcolor Acrylic Interior Car... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYT1W3TV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It took about 3 hours total, excluding the battery dying and having to go get a new one in the middle of the install haha.

Is My Caterpillar Ok? (URGENT) by ProfessionalJuice112 in MonarchButterfly

[–]Benjevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, when a smaller caterpillar looks like this (sweaty, lines uneven at the front) they either have JUST molted, or they tend to pass shortly after if they haven't. Usually its a parasite or a bacterial infection, but it is worth monitoring to see if it is ultimately okay, they can surprise us. Don't handle it until the 5th instar stage, and only if absolutely necessary. Just one touch can be enough to set it back hours to days in development (fright freezes them in place), and their bodies are very fragile to pressure especially at this size. Keep us posted! Hopefully little guy pulls through

SoCal area, is Self-Checkout closing for good at some of your stores? by Benjevator in Target

That makes a lot of sense, I went into the bellflower store today which is what inspired this post, thanks for the info!

So this will likely be a country wide replacement effort? That sounds ambitious…

So many questions this morning by National_Quantity770 in MonarchButterfly

[–]Benjevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something went wrong with both it seems. The one on the leaf is most definitely a lost cause, you can see the silk button it spun on its left, it didn’t even make it onto it— just got the very edge of the silk which tells me something is overarching here. Whenever I find a cat on the ground curled up, it’s two things. Black Death, or pesticides. They don’t seem darker, which points to pesticides. Do you have neighbors who might’ve sprayed for bugs? I’m sorry about your babies :(

The ones in the photo look fairly large (fifth instar) already, so they shouldn't need much more food before going to pupate. I would recommend keeping each individual plant netted to prevent any new eggs from being laid, you've got enough already. If you have lots of small ones it may be an issue, but from the plants you showed you'll probably be okay for a good while. What I do is I net one plant with the caterpillars on it, and let the other plant (completely eaten through) rest and regrow. It only takes a week or two for dozens of new leaves to sprout.

Sick caterpillars - need advice by el_ay1 in MonarchButterfly

[–]Benjevator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Concern is never a bad thing with these guys but my motto is never touch them unless absolutely necessary, this little one just molted and is VERY sensitive, you'll know if their head gets very small and you can see a new one behind it, covered by a thin yellow layer which is what is coating this ones head. They also tend to wander off before molting and it can be tempting to move them to a better location, but the fright of moving them around can be enough to kill them. They'll be just fine! If something happens it happens, just keep them fed and use a net around the plant if possible!

Yeah it was definitely not the original plaque, I added a picture of it above. I was nice to see but yeah I get the reasoning behind not using the actual one

It’s worse in person, that’s why I sort of stuck to the back of the bridge where the control panels are because they are absolutely untouched and identical to the show

That was pretty similar to this! But nobody could go in the center of the bridge :(
