I've been holding onto the larva since the last class that was held and there has been a dramatic change in the appearence of the larva. When I brought the larva back into my room I put it on top of my desk and to the side I did not want to keep disturbing it, I wanted to see how it would be reacting without any type of interference. As the day progressed I noticed that it no longer moved around the perimter of the container as a matter of fact it did not move at all. The larva remained off to the side of the container without any movements. This was a huge difference when compared to how it acted before, during class the larva moved rather quickly around the perimeter. Now it was staying still. Even when picking up the container the larva did not make any type of movement. This changed the day after, this is when I started seeing some action from the larva once again it kept busy and moved around the container. This monday the larva no longer moved at all, instead it decided to pupate. It's a dark brown color and when I move it around the container I can tell it is surrounded by a hard shell. It took about four days of having it in order to have this transformation occur.
