We have four Monarch chrysali on our stand this summer, and experiment that we have been doing for several years now, inspired by the Rockland Public Library. Our children collect catepillars and milkweed at my in-laws, place them in jars with a wood block on top, and wait for the catepillars to attach themselves and transform. Below are two films showing how the chrysalis is formed and the transformation of caterpillar to butterfly.
