not sure if there is enough for these to eat. They were on a very small and spindly planted gum tree.

Hi Kylie, They look large enough to transform if they run out of food. When raising these to beetles I've found if they run out of food they simply transform even if the beetle size is smaller than ususal.

TY Alison. Good to know as I was tempted to return and move their leaf to one of the larger planted trees nearby!
