Observation notes: These are the last 2 butterflies that hatched this morning. They are from 4 small 2nd instars I found on my fennel on July 3. In total there were 3 boys and 1 female. The female, did not create a successful harness and had her catipilliar skin stick to her chrysalis. She also fell several times out of the plant I used to prop her up. She had a tough change. Her body was a little deformed and she didn't use her legs properly as a result, but she seemed to fly away gracefully...I think she will be OK. Or so, I hope!
