Day 60, at bottom of tank - Sabulodes aegrotata

Day 60, at bottom of tank - Sabulodes aegrotata
Alameda County, California, USA
November 21. For many days now, the caterpillars haven't come out in daylight. This one secreted itself under a paper towel lining the tank, at the foot of one glass wall. I accidentally found it while trying to lift the towel and clean the tank. It looks fat but very pale. A little webbing attached the towel to the glass. There's a similar bump on the opposite side of the tank floor, presumably housing another caterpillar. I didn't disturb the second one.
