Please don't get the wasps, they are the main reason a lot of our Monarchs, and other bfs are dissappearing. It is a horrible thing to happen. This is a chrysalis that was a fully developed caterpillar, made it's chrysalis then died. Preditor wasps pupa eat the insides of the cats that are used to become butterflies.
Just drop them in a cup of soapy water to die, or cut them in half. A few moths we can live without, but we can't loose anymore butterflies.
