One of the three caterpillars on the Space Station has successfully pupated! Photos at http://monarchwatch.org/space

I sure hope we caught this on video! :D

Wow!!!! This is quite a feat!! Our "Earth Cats" are far behind the space race. We will be lucky if we have pupation in a week. All six cats are healthy and growing, but at a much slow rate.

Woo hoo!! I have to admit... (sheepish grin)... I doubted the ISS cats would figure out the pupation stage... but I am sooo glad they showed me otherwise! Go Cats! :cheesy:
