01/04 these brown splodges have appeared in a flower pot. Any ideas? (I managed to break a camera when getting this into the tank)


This is believed to be the pupa of a Hawkmoth. It was found last November and has been in the tank ever since. On 7th May, it started moving. At 02:30 on 8th May the Moth hatched - see the videos below. Less than 24hrs later the Moth flew the tank into the wide world.
