If you look carefully, you will see 6 chrysalis. Of course, I didn't think of taking pictures of the caterpillars. One of them was maybe only 1/2 inch long when Thomas found them on the milkweed. He found 6 altogether and brought them in. For a week we fed them fresh milkweed and they grew to 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches long. They then climb to the top of our container. Hang down and attach themselves to the lid and begin the process of becoming a chrysalis. It's pretty amazing! This past Sunday, the last of them completed the process. Now we wait for the beautiful monarch butterflies! I'll try to remember to take pictures. It's amazing !!!
