Week 3




Brüno has been placed into the tube with mulch and has tried to burrow into it. On Tuesday when we removed him from the tube and he had a black line on his back indicating he was preparing to enter the pupae stage. We wrapped the tube in newspaper so it was dark in the tube and he could begin his pupae stage. When we removed him from the tube on Thursday, he had gotten thicker and his legs had almost disappeared. He had not gained any length and was still approximately 5 cm long. Brüno did not thrash back and forth as he had done before when removed from the tube, instead he barely moved at all.
