Is this pupa done for 😢

Cleaned an enclosure and found this on the ground. Thinii look Ng of glueing it to a string and seeing if it’s ok. Worth it or no?

Feel bad for the little guy. But I know it’s nature and they don’t all make it.

Been still for like 15 hrs by now. Not eating. If I zoom in, there is slight movement. More like a wiggle.

About 1” maybe slightly more. Leaves were fresh but have dried up. I’m leaving for now because I don’t want to disturb them.

Not a pro cat breeder/raiser. I did care for one and released it as a butterfly. I have 2 pupas currently. These 3 cats just happened to hatch on a milkweed plant I bought as food for the previous gen and I’m trying to help them to full term. Thanks in advance.

I try to do minimal interaction. I mean, what I’ve done already may be too much: enclose for safe and bring indoors as it’s been very windy recently.

Anyways, I let this guy pick his own place but seems to be too close to a corner. You think little guys ok for shouldn’t move when hardened?

Btw that other cat was harassing the guy in J before pupating. Had to move the cat to the branch. Strange aggressive behavior.
