Scarlet tiger caterpillar

This Scarlet tiger caterpillar was in my light trap  on 15th March. I have been feeding it on, hoping it might pupate. So far so good, it is feeding and has moulted twice so far.

Photo shows discarded skins above  and below the caterpillar, . The larger of the two, above the caterpillar was shed on Saturday.
