Roly and Sheila, my 'Black Star' didn't wait until the morning. I've got bad news that it may not have made it. It propmtly eclosed and almost drowned. I moved it from a corner of the room (no direct sun light) over to the kitchen area where there is florescent light. It must sensed the artificial light and eclosed early-and felt into a bowl of water. It struggled when I released out in the garden. I'm not sure if it made it off to be a happy butterfly or not. I'm saddened.

I've 4 other chrysalid. I need all the encouragement y'all can give before I give it up all together. I feel like one butterfly mommy failure!
