Dear friends - I wanted to thank everyone for your timely advice on raising
butterflies. My children (and I) have really learned alot with this project
this summer. Concerning the detached chrysallis, I reattached it 6 inches
above the floor of our container on a stick, using Elmers white glue, and
"Butterfree" emerged 10 days later, as beautiful as could be. He was set
free, and the two other pupae emerged safely (females - Sweetypie and
Tickles) joined him in the great outdoors. My 3 children were so excited to
be able to have a butterfly walk on them and then set them free. We are now
awaiting the emergence of our 3 Monarchs. Thank you again to everyone who
responded to our questions and helped the emergence of 3 new lepidopterists!
Sincerely,
Tracey Brunetti
