Danaus plexippus - day 0 and day 2

I came home from school today to find my two remaining eggs turned the dark color indicating they will hatch soon.


I'm not sure if the caterpillar actually turns dark at this stage, or if it merely raises its head in prep. for hatching.


I also noted that the hatched caterpillar has developed his dark stripes this afternoon.
