I keep a glass of water on the table next to my bed and as I was drinking I noticed the Spicebush caterpillars have hatched. Well, four out of the five. The egg I found today is colored darker meaning the caterpillar should hatch soon. It makes me wonder if I really missed it yesterday or if it was laid later. I think I missed it because even if I found it yesterday they tend to take at least three days to hatch so it would still be a couple of days behind the others and it looks like it could hatch any second. Pictures when they're big enough for my camera to focus on them! For now, I'm off to bed!
