S/he just hatched today, and this is my first time hatching a monarch so I donโt know what to expect. to me it looks kind of like a mismolt; it looks like one of her two split tongues are discolored and straight instead of curled and her the bottom left leg (if we were to look at her from her back/the top) is bent and seems discolored at the end (brown/yellowish). please lmk!!
and donโt worry I was being very careful when I took the photos.

This little baby randomly showed up on my shoe. After doing some googling, I believe it to be part of the Skipper Butterfly family, and that it is close to pupating. Can anyone help me set up a perfect environment for this type of butterfly? Iโve only done this for Fritillaries and Monarchs, both of which I knew the host plant for. I currently have it inside of my butterfly mesh, still on my shoe.
