Keeping them alive is pretty hard; they die if it's too bright, too dry, too wet, or too cramped. They grow quickly, far quicker than either of them are probably expecting. I'm going to say that one doesn't die, though it stops moving and mimics death. It's waiting for somebody to open its container, or move it, or drop it, or take it out- then it will try to escape, looking for somewhere to pupate.
They have indeed gone unnamed, though I do refer to them as 'killdren' occasionally. But there's no singular for 'killdren', so it's not a perfect name. I designed these to be creepy and scary, and nameless works for that.
