Pleased to view your site, makes the rest so far look shameful. What can you tell me about a red and blue caterpillar with dots down its back in Southern ON.

I have a dagger moth caterpillar who just pupated on July 29. How long will it take the larva to metamorph into a moth? We live in London, Ontario in a supposedly "carolinian" climate. Love all your lepidoptera larvae pictures!
