The BST caterpillar will hibernate over the winter as a pupa, Gita, so there's no need for it to rush.

I have 14 Monarch chrysalises and 2 in J position. 2 chrysalises fell already, so I had to sew them up. Another formed a chrysalis on the underside of a leaf, so I trimmed the leaf and sewed it to the tent.

Should I separate the 3 chrysalises in the first photo? Two are sharing a web and it doesn't looks as if it'll hold up. If it does, won't they be too close if they happen to eclose at the same time?
