Mellie, ROFLOL! Sheila, I've never been to PA. My philly is ready. I am a horse person, so I don't call my monarch "filly"!

Wow, Sheila, I adore your group. So your cats just crawled off their food onto the styrofoam and formed chrysallises there. The chrysallises are quite symetrical. Did you or the cats do that?

Because I didn't put styrofoam in my cage, my Monarch crawled over and attached herself to a leaf. The leaf died; I taped it to the stem so my Monarch wouldn't fall down. See the empty chrysallis encircled in red. The Monarch is hanging from it -- she had just eclosed. That's a GREAT pic of eclosing you made.

A tagging kit would be great. Where will you order it from? I'm learning so very much from you guys.
