| The most unlikely places... |
have a chrysalis! Today I discovered four more, and they were formed on the leaves and dead flower stalks of day lilies. That's not a very secure or stable location, as far as I'm concerned. One was hidden down in the leaves.
 If they don't hatch soon, the leaves will be dead and on the ground when the butterfly emerges!
They are gorgeous, aren't they?

Yes, Jolene, I've given some thought to when they might emerge. I think I'm going to have to plan to spend a whole day out there with the camera! I know at least two of them will hatch around the same time. Of the ten I'm tracking, I don't know the timing on eight.
Hugs,
Liddy

Hey Liddy,They look like part of the plant,like a pod kinda.

Yeah, Dena, I think the color works well for camouflage on the lilies, and also on the milkweed stalks. Not so much on the vinyl siding or the stone foundation of the house. LOL
I found another chrysalis, on the iron pipe that we use for a handrail up the front steps. No blending in there, either!
Can't wait until they start hatching! I want butterflies! Now! Now! Now!
Hugs,
Liddy
