We made a mistake! The tenant is still around!
Mr Caterpillar must have been super duper camouflaged when we tried looking for him the previous afternoon.
Alyssa found him again yesterday afternoon haha. Hanging from a branch that he's often on. WE're glad the rains 2 night ago didn't sweep him off his perch on the plant.
When we checked yesterday evening, he was still around, but on a different branch, basking in the evening sun amongst a bunch of leaves.
He doesn't look any bigger than before though. Thought they were supposed to gorge themselves then hibernate in their cocoon while they metamorphosise?
p/s: we really don't know if Mr Caterpillar is a guy or girl...I gave it a gender and called him Mister. :) The girls wanted to name him but....couldn't agree on one...yet.
