| Caterpillar in a J before going into a chrysalis |
 |
| Here you can see our caterpillar on the left in the "J" shape and another caterpillar in the chrysalis on the right. They will stay in the Chrysalis for about 10-14 days |
Our caterpillar has grown a lot since we first put a entry about the caterpillars up. So he has eaten a bunch of milkweed in the past couple of weeks. Over this past weekend we saw him in this "J" form which is what they do before going into their chrysalis. They will be in the green chrysalis for about 10-14 days and then they will emerge as a butterfly ready for a long trip to Mexico for the winter. I love to see the life cycle come into a way that kids can see it. We'll post more when it happens.
