On Thursday and Friday our caterpillars started their transformation to the next stage of their life cycle.  Each caterpillar attached itself with a sticky substance to the lid of the jar.  They then hung in a “j” position and shed their exoskeleton. This revealed the chrysalis that is underneath. Now the caterpillars are pupas. Their bodies changes to liquid inside the chrysalis and then reforms as a butterfly. Most attached themselves to the top of the jar lids, but some weren’t sticky enough. We propped the lids up on little stands to place inside the butterfly netting habitat and put the others on paper towels in hopes they can still metamorphosize and emerge.
