Great shots today Cat! Pretty flower for such an ugly name as Clammy weed!

Peg.... Looks like you have a new hobby! LOL!! I have tried a lot of sticks and things in the past; we each have to find what works for us. Here is what I did at one point in time (see pic). I used sticks in with the plant clippings then when they pupated; moved them into a flight cage so when they emerged and dried they would have room to get away from the sitcks and not damage their wings. But now I just take everything out of the container when a couple make their chrysalis I can watch for the color changes and set that container inside a larger cage.
Like Josephine says, they don't have to be hanging to emerge, but it is easier to me if they are.
