[Question] Dark Pigments on a Larvae

[Question] Dark Pigments on a Larvae

I found a larvae on my garden around two weeks ago. I decided to grow it and see what insect it becomes. Initially when I found it, it's color was white, but today when I checked it had some dark pigments on the tail side and spine area.

Is that okay? Is it dying? Does it require some sort of food?

I am keeping it on a soil with some greens (small pieces of leaves), browns (tree bark) and two dead flies (lol, just in case). I put little water every two-three days to keep it wet.

P.S. It is still alive, moving and digging into the soil.
