The caterpillars have now gone into their Chrysalis – or Cocoon stage! When they all formed cocoons they were gently taken out of their containers and placed into this netted cage.  While in this stage, there is a process called “metamorphosis” taking place and this whole process can take about 8-14 days, however since it is quite warm out it may not take quite as long.   The indoor air can be quite dry so it is important to spray the cocoons with a mist of water 1-2 times a day.

See you this Thursday at 2:00 pm for our Zoom meeting – I will show you our cage of Cocoons!
