Monarch larva and chrysalis

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

I took a look at the monarch caterpillars in the rearing cage inside the Resource Centre, and noticed one of them moving around on the top of the cage. Within seconds it was hanging upside down and as I watched, formed the J-position, a prelude to forming its chrysalis. This was a few minutes past 10, At 2:30 p.m. when I went back for another look, the chrysalis has already been formed, still a bit lumpy, not completely finished, but almost there.
