Seq, it's a place for caterpillars to safely munch away, grow larger, and then form their chrysalises.

(1) A Monarch cat forming his chrysalis, hanging from the top of the habitat (usually they are made of mesh)
(2) The new chrysalis, with other Monarch cats ready to pupate
(3) Coming home to find the butterflies emerged and drying their wings
(4) Taking them outside and opening the habitat so they can continue to dry their wings and prepare for flight
(5) A Black Swallowtail cat munching away inside the habitat

I got this large white habitat online (Amazon?). I also got a smaller, black mesh habitat from Greenthumb at last year's fall swap. He had them to purchase from the Loudon County wildflower society.
