Yea! Another convert to protect the butterflies! Fly, Roly is telling you correctly, the larger ones may be ready to pupate. But the tiny ones and the fresh eggs that momma has left will need to have more plants. Young cats will take to a different plant like fennel, rue, or dill; if parsley isn't avaliable. The older ones will likely pupate.

I use the glad containers for raising cats of all butterflies with a piece of wet floral foam. I cut the top and replace with thin weaved fabric, but any container will work. If left on their own you may not see the chrysalis because they crawl off quite a ways and sometimes up walls. They take about two weeks in the chrysalis to adult butterfly. Hope you try one.
