Monarch caterpillar going to chrysalis

Monarch caterpillars going to chrysalis - July 18, 2007 - Unlike many caterpillars that spin a cocoon, the Monarch butterfly will attach itself and hang up-side down, till its back splits open and its skin starts to slide up-wards. It sheds its skin like a snake and under its old skin is a new creature the chrysalis that the Monarch butterfly will hatch out from - Mississauga - by Donald Barber - more at http://cawthra-bush.org

Sorry not get around to reply sooner.

On the web-site below, I am an Earth Angel now and trying to get people to raise Monarch butterflies and plant butterfly gardens.

Many more pictures and explanations on my web-site.

That's got to be one of the stranger sights in nature. I used to raise the critters down in Florida, although never in captivity; I had around 20 milkweed plants scattered around the yard as well as a few other hostplants for other species I was targeting, but I've still never seen this process in person. I've watched them hatch and air their wings, but never got to see them go into the chrysalis.

They go insearch of a place to spin their chrysalis and we don't get to see them after they eat. And we're left with devistated milkweed plants haha. And no emerging butterflies to show for the effort. anyone who can suggest some good ideas for a place to put them when they are done eating and appear ready to transform please let me know. I'm always heartbroken when we put the effort into rasing the cats and then they sneak off over night and spin their chrysalis somewhere else.

I am just now getting into growing the milkweed needed to bring the butterflies to lay their eggs. I have plenty of plants. But I need a place for them to spin their chrysalis safely. And they rarely spin it on the plants they feed on. Any suggestions??? Please help me out guys. I have built a small army of milkweed plants and put them in a sunny area of our yard that is rarely traveled through by anyone. But there is no place for them to spin their chrysalis so after they eat they disappear

His buddy in front is like, "ok ok man, you got the thing off, quit writhing around already, I'm trying to concentrate!"LOL

As kids we kept monarchs and never saw what happened and could never figure out what the black bit was at the bottom of the cage until I finally saw it happen two summers ago. Very cool!
