I can't seem to keep them placated for more than a few hours a day. Perhaps my movements around the room scare them (although they don't fly away immediately when I'm near them, and sometimes don't react at all), or perhaps they endogenously attempt to fly even when all their physical needs are met.
Anyways, I released the female, euthanized the pupa (it metamorphosed so poorly it could not walk after eclosion), and am going to release my new female soon. The last of the 4 individuals is still a larva and shows no intent to pupate.
Rest of my life's been uneventful. Dodders and Calasterella and aridland wildflowers are doing basically nothing worth my time to mention. Still depressed to death, only respite is the too-infrequent Ultraviolet Grasslands games.
Oh, and that weird hairy mystery plant from the China trip is probably some sort of Draba.
