<DIV>They made it and are doing well! Note that on earth the cats normally go to
the top feeding tray and feed almost exclusively from this tray until the food
in gone (in so doing exhibiting negative geotaxis). In these images the cats are
feeding on multiple trays (they sit adjacent to the trays they feed from when
not feeding). The third image shows the proper orientation of the habitat
showing that one cat is feeding on the bottom most tray, one on the top and the
third probably from the third tray from the top. The larvae were introduced into
the habitats just after molting to become fourth instars. They are all still
4ths and are probably a day away from molting to the 5th and final instar. This
is so cool!!!!</DIV>
