Thanks for this-- we just hatched 6 of these, but somehow we missed every single one! They are fast (and sneaky!) little buggers! For one, we literally left the room for about 10 minutes, and when we came back, there it was! :) Amazing to watch!

I was wondering about the fact that the chrysalis was on some paper towel- did it fall after it made the chrysalis? I'm asking because I have a chrysalis at the moment that the caterpillar was knocked down when it was hanging to make the chrysalis and formed it's chrysalis on the ground and I'm wondering what it's chances of transforming actually are.

i think it's pretty confused by the linoleum and surfaces that aren't natural to her basic instinct
