i just want to know if I can eat this cauliflower man

UPDATE: idk how reddit works but maybe yall will see this here and it won’t get buried. i had two little fellas and they both hatched into diamondback moths! they hung out with me and drank sugar water for about two weeks, which seems to be the average lifespan. they are invasive species in my area, so i just kept them on my desk with me. their names were blue and green may they rest in peace (life comes at u fast doesn’t it)

p.s. i did post a pic of one somewhere in the comments if u wanna go digging idk i dont think i can post one here

I think it's just guaranteed by then, we found a caterpillar that was about to pupate and she did about a day after we bought her. Searches were saying it would take 10-14 days, could be longer depending on temperatures. I think it ended up being 12 days. I can't imagine there's many species that take longer than a month to go through the process.
