Today, about a week after I first spotted the caterpillars, they have almost completely exfloiated the milkweed-I was becoming concerned that they would have no place to attach themselves to form each pale green chrysalis, but I was excited to find the first one today when I got home from work, tucked on a leaf down among the branches. There could be more, but I could only find this one so far. From what I have learned, I think the butterfly should emerge in about 10 days. I plan to keep a close watch and hope to get a photo or two (hopefully this will happen when I am not at work!
