The Luna Moth Chronicles: Day 24

The next to cocoon is...
 Clover!

Corvella's cocoon thickened and darkened overnight. Now it looks more sturdy.

I'm worried about Nenington, caterpillar #3. He stopped eating today and is just sitting on a stick. I am hopeful that he is planning to cocoon shortly, but something doesn't seem right. His excrement from last night looked really dry and grainy, instead of the usual spherical moist balls you've seen in the photos from previous updates.

Corvella and Clover will spend the night in a container with the lid slightly cracked, sitting in the open windowsill so they can begin acclimating to the cooler temperatures.
