Jem is 18!
Check out the update here...
Jem is now also a dancing pupa. I think this is the most incredible stage. As I mentioned in a previous post, it's not like caterpillars just slim down, change leg shape and sprout wings--no, they actually morph into a cellular soup and rebuild themselves to be something entirely different.
Also, if you have any interest in helping these incredible creatures, free milkweed seeds or live plants (with a donation) are provided through LiveMonarch.org, which is a not-for-profit foundation.
