for some reason, i thought caterpillars wrapped themselves in the chrysalis. But it's crazy to see one shedding it's skin off! i've been enlightened. thank you for sharing!
Your videos about monarch are amazing very well made and informative!! I want to raise monarch butterflies in my house and I need information and anything related to them for learn about this amazing butterflies. Thank you so much for sharing this. It makes me cry from happiness!!
I read about Richard Ebright in book. I always wondered what it is like to see a pupa turn into a butterfly. My childhood curiosity got satisfied today . Thank you very much. I'm grateful to you.
Thanks for sharing! We are raising caterpillars for the first time, and honestly, I had no idea what to expect! This is helpful! We have one stuck to the roof of the tent in the J shape, and 11 more still fattening up. :-)
So, when the caterpillar decides its hanging place, does it already have the butterfly structures underneath the caterpillar skin, or do they appear in the day afterwards?
Saw two of these critters, one of which had pupated on a wall in a breezeway despite all the trees and bushes and other plants around and the other one I caught as a caterpillar... also on a wall, but I was able to move it to a nice leaf before it actually went through with it. It pupated earlier today and some of the leaves were crowding it such that its old skin hadn't fallen off. I don't want to disturb it, but I wonder if I should try and remove the old skin.
My teacher gave my whole class caterpillars and they all lived but they were in Their cocoon they all turn into butter flys and we let them free and we made t shirts of butterflies
I love your videos watched a bunch and learned a while lot about my monarch caterpillars that I currently have . but I noticed that in another video you held the butterfly by her wings, you seem very educated on the topic so you nay already know this but those scales on there wings are very fragile and by touching the wings, scales come off as it is very easy for them to rub off. and this is not good for the butterfly. eventually throughout its life scales come off scales can come off by simply landing on a plant so it will happen no matter what it is just a matter of time until their color fades and a butterfly that has lost lots of scales has a hard time flying
It's a myth that holding a butterfly by its wings will damage them. If you are careful and do not rub the wings they are fine. The scales play almost no role in flight, even with naked, battered wings a butterfly can still fly. It's far better to hold them by the wings than by the body where you may damage the legs or the body. It's always better NOT to hold a butterfly, but when transporting them it's far better to hold the wings than to let them flop around in a net or box.

Same
Yeah that's what they told me in school as far as I can remember, I wonder why they didn't just tell us they shed skin? 🤔
@@marieperez1453 Moths spin a silk cocoon around themselves while they pupate, butterflies shed their skin and harden into a chrysalis.

I thought that the pictures were all just it creating green stuff to encapsulate itself

This kids, is how caterpillars dance.
This is the funniest part of the dance🤣🤣🤣
Thank you sooooooooo much for posting this ❤
Hooray your caterpie evolved into metapod.
So, when the caterpillar decides its hanging place, does it already have the butterfly structures underneath the caterpillar skin, or do they appear in the day afterwards?
No they kinda turn to mush but they end up re forming their selves to turn into butterflies
Wow! How great and beautiful is the creation of God! 😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks! 🦋
Thanks for the video
WHERE DID THE HEAD GO????
I do the same thing. If I don't the birds get them. Just had 3 pupate last night. Missed them though as they did it in the middle of the night
I almost cry when see the caterpillar struggle to transform into pupa stage
My teacher gave my whole class caterpillars and they all lived but they were in Their cocoon they all turn into butter flys and we let them free and we made t shirts of butterflies
Can they see when they become a pupa?
Interesting question. Their eyes aren't well formed until near the end, but they may be able to see light versus dark? Don't really know the answer.
@@NatureNorth ooh cool thanks for answearing
Nice

I have one that formed into a j and then for some reason never pupated? Is that common?
Not common, but not really rare either, things do go wrong occasionally. Maybe the result of disease of pests.
@@NatureNorth yes i researched further and found red larvae like on the bottom of the tray. is it worth saving the chrysallis if this occurs?
WhoAAA
after it had removed it's old skin, it looked like it was dancing 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
