Here's an update on the progress of the Polyphemus babies, with a note from Eureka.

Hi Folks,

My little green babies are growing and getting fat. I guess I haven't killed them yet. As you will see from the composite picture, though, one of them is a shrimp. There are still 3 healthy ones and one shrimpy one. Only 3 show in the picture. The fourth one was hiding under a leaf. I put some fresh munchies in this morning. Even though the species uses a variety of host plants I'm trying to stick with Laurel Oak since I started with that. I mistakenly put in a Live Oak twig the other day. They don't seem to mind.

Enjoy.
