It fell off after I accidentally brushed against the plant and then I put it back, that’s the only reason it was in my hand

Hey update!
I decided to let Mother Nature do her thing while I was out of state for a week. I came back, and they were huge! But unfortunately, we went from 7 to 3….
Temps have averaged 50Β°F. I got a mesh butterfly/caterpillar cage to put outside, and I bought organic parsley from the store. I put the whole parsley planter and the two bundles of parsley in the cage. I really hope this is a good solution. I will keep you guys updated :)

Advice/Help Found one of my pupae ravenged (VERY GORY) NSFW

2 Upvotes

I’m so scared right now I was checking my pupae so I could move them to a better area and I found a few mildly disformed but I found two clearly dead; this one is one of the clearly dead ones

After closer inspection I see little critters inside the empty shell of the pupae,, I’m really scared because I’m worried now that whatever these little guys are might hurt my other hornworms,, I’m so so scared

What should I do? I used eco earth soil for them and I’m so worried for my other pillars :((
