reattached chrysallis

Dear friends - I wanted to thank all of you who responded when I sent out a 
distress call concerning a Detached Swallowtail chrysallis, and to let you 
all know that our experiment had a satisfactory conclusion.  My children and 
I reattached the pupae with elmers white glue, 6 inches above the bottom of 
the cage, and 10 days later the black swallowtail emerged, crawled all over 
the kids (who were delighted!) and was released.  That one was a male, the 
second two were females.  We are now anxiously awaiting the emergence of our 
three Monarchs.  We have learned so much about butterflies through this 
experiment, and your timely advice really helped make it a success.  So, 
thank you all again for helping three new lepidopterists to emerge!
                                            Sincerely - Tracey Brunetti
