Between July 20 and July 27, 23 of my little BST cats had pupated. One eclosed August 3rd. The rest seem uninterested in breaking out and joining the world. How do you know things are okay inside the chrysalis? Mine seem to vary in colour, from light brown to dark. In the photos taken by another DG'er, her chrysalides looked green, mine definitely aren't. I'm getting really nervous!!! I'll put on a couple of photos.....
