Four butterflies emerged from chrysalids today. They like to eat honesty apparently, so we are searching the local garden shops so we can plant some in the garden. The chrysalids of this butterfly look so much like thorns you have to look very closely to see them.
We also discovered that one of the scorpions had eaten the other! We're not sure if it was the male or the female that ate the other - it the was the biggest of the two. Still, I won't have to feed it for a while.
We also had an escapee. A beetle discovered a gap in the wire mesh of its vivarium, and was taking a stroll along the top. It was easily coaxed into a small net and back into its home.
