I took this one home intending to add it to the jar with the other caterpillars, but I kept it in a plastic bag overnight for a few more photos before putting it in the jar.
In the morning I found that the caterpillar was attached by one end to the plastic of the bag. I left it there and by the evening it had formed its chrysalis, attached to the plastic bag.
To be able to look after it, I wrapped the plastic round a garden stake and kept it propped in the kitchen.
Here is the chrysalis on its plastic holdfast!
