Today is the day for at least 4 of the Caterpillars to begin their next transition into a Chrysalis. The first one to start roaming in search of a suitable spot. Unlike the Monarchs which hang from above these guys have to have a side support. Number 2 has now found its spot and is anchoring himself. I have never watched to see just how they do this so will be interesting to see if I can catch the transformation. So far 4 have found their spots. One of the vertical side of the glass, 1 on a long screw hanging down from the top, and two more have found spots on the branches I put in the tank for this purpose. Now we just wait and watch.
