Well they have both pupated. Sam - with the poor silk girdle - fell off its twig to the bottom of its cage but seems to have pupated OK.

Thanks Jack - very much appreciated. If Plan A comes to fruition I'll definitely be in touch. Even if I'm unable to stay over, it would be good to finally meet upJack Harrison wrote:You'll be welcome to stay.
In a sense you're correct - due to the large number of images we have submitted, Vince now specifically requests photos to be added (this is a change of protocol from previous years).
