inchworms

It's a pretty good year for (what I think are) spring cankerworm (Paleacrata vernata) inchworms.  Ru-Jun has collected some into a couple of containers and we have been feeding them leaves. One appears to have pupated.  Problem is I think they need to go through winter to emerge and the pupae are probably vulnerable to viruses.  But it's been really fun for Ru-Jun.
