These are the first photographs I took. I believe they are Second Instars since you can see the shed material next to them. When they hatched, I fed them a while in containers and quickly sleeved them on the only tree I could find at that time with new leaves. I believe it was a hybrid of a Live Oak and a Drummond Oak. Those had been identified for me by Lynn Lowry, a well known Texas native plant expert, in that area of our property. I periodically cut off the sleeved branch and photographed them and put them back on a different branch. I never changed the tree on which I sleeved them, even when it was losing it's leaves in the spring. Instead, I found a Live Oak that already had catkins and put some of them in the sleeve to supplement the leaves that were left on the branches.
