I bought a swan plant for my daughter so she could experience the wonder of it.....but she was over it within a couple of days LOL. Then I witnessed a wasp literally sucking the life out a caterpillar. Awful!!! After seeing that I couldn't just leave them outside and vulnerable (they are so cute when they hatch) so I decided to bring the plant inside...keep them safe LOL Anyway, long story short I have 22 Chrysalis babies ready to hatch, I can't wait!!. Thanks for sharing :o) I am addicted!!

this is great infomation... i am currently writing a short children's story this morning for an online educational module. it is about KRISA, the happy butterfly. this video gave me a vivid imaghes of how they emerge.

Metapod evolves into Butterfree but in real life

I enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been raising monarch butterflies for several years. It always amazes me to see this beautiful creature emerge from its chrysalis. I talk about the Monarch butterflies into the garden group, which I belong to in northeastern, Pennsylvania. I urge our members to plant native milkweed and n their gardens where it will not be disturbed but monitored. I found this year was not a good year for Monarchs.

That butterfly just seconds from emerging and already was about to be some cats dinner.

I remember once when I was younger I had a little habitat and a kit to grow 5 caterpillars (I don't remember what species). The caterpillars came in a jar with breathing holes on the top and caterpillar food on the bottom. Four got up to the top of the jar and cocooned while the last one died somehow. I took the pad with the cocoons out of the jar and into the habitat. Like over a week later, only three of them had emerged, the last one had turned black and never emerged, so that one failed. But as if that wasn't enough, one the three sole survivors had misshapen wings. Later that day I repeatedly threw the butterflies into the air to release them, after a while both of the perfect ones managed to fly away, as for the poor one with misshapen wings, I placed it on a plant in a field and let it be free that way, I tested the little one but of course it couldn't fly because of its misshapen wings. Many years before that I was visiting my grandmother and grandfather with my family and they had some wooden wind chimes laying on the floor of their garden and I saw a cocoon stuck to one of the tubes. I gently peeled it off and we took it back home with us. A long while later (from what I can remember) my mother and I walked into the kitchen and found the cocoon transparent and empty. We looked at the window and saw a cabbage white butterfly on it, on the inside so it obviously came from the cocoon I found. My mother caught it and then released it out in the garden where it flew away to freedom.

Great videos! Any idea what the multiple of size of a caterpillar just out of the “egg” to the caterpillar just beginning to turn into a chrysalis? I don’t think 1000 times bigger is enough. Thanks

i’m taking care of 3 right now and one is already hanging upside down in a j shape making all sorts of webs it’s so cool i’m so excited to see it turn into a chrysalis ^^

The thing that fooled me at first with them is that they wander off when it's time for them to pupate. You'll see a bunch of big caterpillars on the plants one day and they'll all be gone the next. It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint once you realize that it's probably not a great idea to sit idle for a week or so on a plant that's still food for your brothers and sisters. You're less likely to have your resting place eaten from out under you if you go somewhere else to pupate.

How about a series on the Life Cycle of the Milkweed Plant? Monarch Butterflies are not the only insect that benefits from the Milkweed Plant during its life cycle. I have counted about 24 different species of insects that nourish themselves off of the Milkweed Plants growing in my garden. Some visit during the day times and some visit at night times. Then as the plant begins its seed cycle and the leaves and petals wither away another few insects come by to nourish themselves.

I believe they are! I’ll try to find the study, but there was an experiment where caterpillars were exposed to a neutral stimulus then a negative stimulus over and over under they began to expect the negative stimulus after being exposed to the neutral stimulus. Once the caterpillars had become butterflies, they were again exposed to the neutral stimulus, and they reacted as though they were expecting the negative stimulus to follow.

It's a boy! Save the monarchs!

Because mud provides them with salt and minerals. It's usually males that you see doing this behavior. They incorporate the minerals and salts into their bodies and pass it to the female when mating. This increases the vitality of the eggs

Wonder full😍😍😍😍

the male is the one with the open wings. Its harder to tell with the wings closed, but the rest look like females. Again his color looks more vibrant.

+Jefferson Lab seeing this made me wonder what goes through its mind when it [realizes] it can fly. Its early life seems somewhat like a toddler being born into an empty house, crawling around eating the floor and walls of the room it was born in, morphing into a helicopter during a nap, then waking up in a very different body & using some type of heuristics to fly around, largely unassisted. Great footage; thanks for filming this event & sharing!

Does the female have a scent gland somewhere else? Do the males use the gland (I'm assuming yes, obviously) to get well... what scent exactly?

Hey I have question ! When i was in elementary school my brother found a monarch butterfly on the ground. It wings were intact but look crumpled like a sheet of paper that has been crushed and then straightened out again. Anyway he took it home and we fed it diluted honey. It survived like that for about two weeks before dying. I never understood why it wings were crumpled up. Did something go wrong when it came out of it's cocoon?
