Last caterpillar to make chrysallis


We brought the first caterpillar to make a chrysallis into the Elroy Public Library where he will stay until he hatches.
We now have 3 at home and this is the last caterpillar made her trek to the top of the net yesterday to form her chrysallis.
The whole process constantly amazes us. When they are in this stage they look like they are in a deep prayer before their next transformation. They kind of bob their head, and the way they are curled up really makes it seem like they are chanting.
