I forgot to tell you that once the chrysalis is formed it takes 10 days for Monarchs to emerge. So make sure to check him on the ninth day (morning & evening), to see if the green coloration has changed to brown. They will emerge early in the morning and will hang for a long time unfurling and drying their wings. Usually you can release them before lunch. It will also usually allow you to slowly put your finger in front and will climb on. Then set it on a flower to be photographed! Best of luck!

There is a 'sticky' post at the top of this Forum that has loads of informative links and information. If you are interested in raising bfs then it is a must read.
