You only have a limited time to get them to grab onto something. The caterpillar seemed to be in the second or third instar during the time I had it (it was shedding when I found it).

Today i noticed one writhing around. Usually they are green. I lifted it up and put it on a table and it’s wings are trembling almost like they’re in a strong breeze. 2 bigger ones are fine and are currently in J shape. Can you tell me what is going on? I haven’t moved it to a bigger cutting of milkweed for fear of losing track of it, and am simply feeding it on single leaves (all of which I have rinsed prior to serving). I have a chrysalis that is pink, apricot on color. Worth looking into. He was perfect in every other way. It climbed up the side of my house, but then fell onto the rocks below.

But just wondering if I could get some advice, thank you!

Goin’ Native Therapeutic Gardens Joints the MJV Partnership! Mine turn a dark almost black before the go up to their J and chrysalis. Chrysalises with this problem will be part caterpillar and part chrysalis. Nvr went green. I have pictures of mine molting. So you want to Start Raising Monarch Butterflies? They are nice and plump and active. Is he dying?

:).

So upsetting not sure what to do anymore. That should be what "dropped". Hello Candace! N I don't know Yes, I am in Central Florida- it's still 85 degrees here and lots of monarch activity.

What can I do? I've read all the comments and answers and mine is a little different. Curious how your lad turned out.

When there’s a group of caterpillars in the cage, the last caterpillar that crawls up sometimes isn’t ready to pupate, but rather, it doesn’t want to be left behind…perhaps that safety in numbers instinct again? We have supported about 50 Monarchs this summer. Their normally green stripes are pale yellow. They are dying while turning green, as though they’re soon to enter chrysalis... you can almost see the chrysalis under their striped skin. We have kept the two Monarch caterpillars we currently have in a separate room away from the infected Painted Ladies, and are doing our best to prevent exposure. This is my second year raising an the first time I got to see the molt. I'm in New York. Have about 30 chrysalides and waiting for 20 eggs to hatch. Monarch Joint Venture I am also noticing vomit on some of the leaves. They just want to fly south. Is there any hope at this point, or will the Monarch perish inside the chrysalis?

After each chrysalis hatches, I wash the jar.

A red liquid appeared on the paper towel under where it hung.

However, the ones we brought inside are less exciting. I have a mesh habitat and noticed a caterpillar crawling across on the mesh leaving a light green watery like trail. I have 4 black swallowtail cats and they seem to have eaten pesticide. This just happened to me too. One of our monarchs went into their chrysalis and a caterpillar that was still alive ate part of the chrysalis. Still am. Spray the silk button and silk around the chrysalis with water. I don't get home for another 4 hours. October 2019 I have my milkweed plants in the house. They both still try to fly away but they go right to the ground. His favorite food was the honey water. She can't fly, but is hell bent that she is going to. Parts of the chrysalis were stuck to the butterfly and it was unable to release its frass. If the chrysalis falls while it’s soft and still forming: If the chrysalis is already fully formed and hardened you have more options: No chrysalis silk to tape to the paper towel? Also, this morning, an emerging butterfly had its wings stuck to the empty chrysalis shell and couldn't separate itself. Someone gave my wife a chrysalis glued to a stick.

Hope this helps. But I think 10 out of 130 really isn't too bad. OE is a protozoan parasite that infects monarchs. We helped him back up to the top of the mesh cage,but he clearly had a damaged wing. I have found that the best way to keep my caterpillars healthy is to keep each one in its own jar with a square of window screening overtop. It's possible that the cat that disappeared simply reached its pupal stage and went to find a good place to create its chrysalis.

Hello Marilyn! First of all, have you placed your caterpillars next to a window so they have natural light? Also I have noticed snails and ants that are small enough to get through the mesh cages....grrr.

They stop after several hours & when moving head back & forth is when they are creating silk pad.

When I bought them I found several caterpillars on it. The chrysalis will turn clear right before it emerges and you will be able to see the wings inside. Now that we are at the end of the season they aren't even interested in each other. After much research and consulting with some experts, I believe she was injured as a baby by other cats and she suffered quite a bit of damage to her abdomen but she cannot fly so I've been taking care of her. That's what the caterpillar does when it tries to form a chrysallis and you or movement are disturbing it. And he tries. My husband laughed at me a few times when I washed the milkweed if I collected it from somewhere where it may have been contaminated by pesticides but obviously it may be a good idea to do all the time. The interesting part of this story is that I could keep it alive for a whole week by taking it outside to feed on the coneflowers and black-eyed-susans.
