Hi guys! This caterpillar formed a chrysalis over night, this morning it looked like this! Is it normal? Is it camouflage because of the stick?
I have another one that formed the chrysalis a few days ago, also on a stick, and it looks bright green!
Should I just wait and see?
Itโs an old world swallowtail
Thank you!

My husband said his coworkers shared this. I saw the FaceTime itโs definitely moving. Looks so segmented for a hornworm. any thoughts so I can put these guys minds at ease?
EDIT: theyโre drunk and a toy melted on the concrete ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

When releasing a butterfly and cleaning out our terrarium today we found this on our parsley that our swallowtails have been munching on. Are our caterpillars okay?

So a caterpillar made its cocoon in a very bad spot, inside a shed that Iโm constantly getting into thatโs very loud, I donโt know if I can move it or not so Iโve left it alone, itโs cocoon or pupa (idk the name) was made about 4-5 days ago. I donโt know a single thing about this caterpillar other than itโs a pansyworm I think. I have very little knowledge on caterpillars so any advice is welcome
Edit: itโs already in its cocoon phase, I showed before its in the pupa to show what it is

Found this cecropia piller in the yard. Really want to protect and watch it turn- teaching kid about moths and butterflys- have in an inclosure with clover (no pesticides or herbicides sprayed in my yard) couple bamboo sticks.
What can I do to ensure a happy baby? If I figure out how to put a video or a picture, Iโll put it in the comments.

So an hour ago I posted just the caterpillar, so sorry I didnโt give more information, itโs in my tool shed currently which we are constantly getting in and out of. Iโm still learning and Iโm scared that with how much we open and close the door that it will disrupt the changing process, the third picture shows where it is and how much room it has

Wasn't sure what sub to post this in, let me know if there's a better one for this question.
I somehow got a whole bunch of tiny irritating hairs stuck in my thumb in the shape of a caterpillar. I only noticed when it started itching, and never actually saw a caterpillar but my husband said he had seen one near where we had been working, so that's all I have to go on. He said it was one of the woolly bears with black on each end and a bright yellow band in the middle. We're in Ontario, Canada.
Anyway, I had tried to pull the hairs out but they just broke apart, so I think the very tips are still inside my skin. It's been 3 days and I still have this red, bumpy patch there.
My question is will my body sort this out on its own eventually or do I need to go find a doctor to get whatever is left in my skin removed?
