 Using the last of my mental health to note that I brought the pot beetle grubs out of their dormancy a week or so ago by spraying them and then partially closing the lid for several days (thus ensuring their cup was lightly damp for the duration of those days). They are now ravenously eating petals again.

Apparently merely spraying the animals is insufficient for them to exit dormancy, even if the spraying is very intense, because it seems that dormancy only ceases when there is a prolonged exposure to humidity.

Also, no detectable "long COVID" symptoms so far. Yay?
