I wouldn't try the glue unless you have some of the silk. I used styrofoam in the spring and it worked very well. You know the angle and the side that should be up; just knotch a piece of styrofoam to hold the chrysalis in place. Put a tiny piece of double sided tape underneath the tail to make sure the chrysalis doesn't tip over when the butterfly emerges.
