So, a few days ago, I noticed that our Hungry Little Caterpillar had stopped eating and was hovering the top of the butterfly cage...when I looked closer, I noticed that it was actually releasing silk on the top of the plastic...building itself a place to hang from (securing itself). 
So, I got really excited, because we were going to get to watch it turn into a chrysalis. It went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth on the top of the cage until finally, it settled in one place and started to direct all the silk in one spot. 
The next morning, it was hanging in a "J" shape, and was wiggling around. I thought we were going to actually get to see it transform into the chrysalis...but had to run an errand.
When I got home, found it it had already "HALF" formed it's chrysalis already. A little bummed...I continued to watch the rest of the afternoon as it transfored itself completely into a tiny little coccoon of sorts. SO COOL!
The Chrysalis is beautiful! It has little golden (they are actually even sparkly) golden jewels on it's casing. So...now we wait and see how long it takes before the Chrysalis starts to become sheer and a Monarch Butterfly emerges. YAY! I can't wait to share with you all when it happens!
