Here is chrysalis #2. This means that poop and circumstance will not be seen again. Have to think up prettier names once they become beautiful. This caterpillar was very active during the process and flung the molted skin away and it fell to the floor of the basket. As you may have noticed, it is still hanging onto chrysalis #1.

As I was watching the transformation, I wondered if parts of it are painful. Some of the movements remind me of labor for childbirth and that made me wonder also if the hormonal changes make them nauseous or dizzy or sleepy.
