Hi all.
I've had some luna pupae for a few weeks and the first female finally eclosed—but there's something wrong with it. She appeared to be more sodden than usual and didn't expel any meconium as she emerged. I placed her in an enclosure where she settled in an upside-down resting position. After 3 hours, her wings are damp—but still shriveled—and her abdomen is dangling like a water balloon. She's still responsive but has not changed positions for quite a while.
Here is a photo:
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
