Did a Little Research

I have seen a caterpillar make a cocoon, but I did not know how they made a chrysalis. I looked for videos on youtube because I keep missing when our caterpillars do it. Apparently it doesn't take very long. Did you know that they actually peel their own skin off to reveal the chrysalis underneath. There are some long videos on youtube if you are interested in looking at the full thing. This is a short video of snap shots of the caterpillar changing.
