Alright people. Ds found a caterpillar at school yesterday. Some blessed soul helped him make a house for it with a tissue box and some mesh. This morning it fell between the cracks in the deck right after DS said "He's my best friend."
He was devastated. Well, when I got back from buying one of those butterfly houses that you order the larvae for, I FOUND THE CATERPILLAR!!!!! Called his teacher and let him know. Now I'm trying to figure out what he eats. He seems disinterested in the lilac leaves DS gave him yesterday. I can't figure out what type he is. I live in Northern AZ, and he is black with yellow fur on his sides. His head would look the same except it's red (no bigger than the rest of him), and he has black tufts at both ends that are longer than the yellow fur. He is about an inch and a half long. PLEASE HELP! If this thing dies before it makes a chrysalis it's not going to be pretty.
