In complete awe


We have been lucky to have such warm weather for the Monarch caterpillars.  It's not very often you get to see caterpillars spin their chrysalis.  We also witnessed the final moult of it's skin.

We captured the initial spinning which took over 12 minutes, we were still watching at home time :-)



Have you got any Monarch caterpillars at home?  Have you seen a caterpillar spin it's chrysalis before?  Tell us about it in the comments.
