The Cecropias are doing quite well. However I did lose one container of them to some sort of disease. The whole container of them got sick and died within 24 hours. The other 3 containers of them are doing well. They eat about 4 large Maple leaves a day now … and will only consume more as they get larger. Their colour seems to change from light green to almost black, but I’m not sure what causes this or why. My informal count this morning came to just over 70 left, so there has been some mortality other than the container that had the disease. Most of them are just over 1 inch long now.
