This message is from Karen Hammer <khammer at den.k12.de.us>, a second grade teacher from Dover Delaware.

Our first unit is on insects. We are participating in the Monarch Watch program. One of the children brought in a swallowtail butterfly.. I determined that parsley was its host plant and it eventually formed a chrysalis. Could you help us with an approximate time that the adult will emerge from the chrysalis? Two weeks..a month.. next spring..Is there any special care or conditions I should try to create or maintain?
