Droopy antennea?!

Gahh, I missed getting video of our 3rd cat transforming to a chrysalis, but I did get a picture of his antennae! The process I’ve observed is: about a day before transformation the caterpillar quits eating and crawls away from the food plant. It takes maybe 12 hours to rest and spin its silk pad. Then it hangs upside down in a J-shape for several more hours. When the antennae start to shrivel, it’s about an hour away from transforming.
