My caterpillar is in a chrysalis! Mrs. Furman put sugar and water mixture into a sponge. Today I saw a butterfly and a chrysalis that a butterfly had already emerged from. There was meconium on the paper. I saw three butterflies and three head capsules. It was shiny on a chrysalis dangling from some clear silk. The butterflies are not a caterpillar anymore. We have painted ladies. They have beautiful colors. They will not eat anymore mallow because they are butterflies and butterflies drink nectar. I think mine will be one of the last to emerge to be a butterfly because it was the last to be in a j shape and a chrysalis.
