Okay, from the previous thread, Amanda has asked, what is likely to happen to these pupae at this late in the season. Will they 1) 'wintering' over naturally or... I then asked 2) if we should store the chrysalides in the fridge to keep them 'as is' until spring then we can bring them back out to resume their transformation? Please join in and help us out.

Here is another set-up which houses 3 other 5th instars BSTs that're about to pupate into their cocoons. At present they're happily munching on the parsley within the cage in a semi-shade area outdoor.
