chrysalis tree #3
#3 of 5 Sometimes I run out of trays. when that happens chrysalides are removed from the lids. It's important to scrape as much of their silk off with them as possible. The silk is then used to pin the chrysalis to the foam of the chrysalis tree. I have two trees and they can hold fifty chrysalides each.
Once removed from the lid and placed on the tree, they go outside in protective custody until they are ready to be released. Protective custody is a critter cage on my lanai. That way they are protected from lizards that may be looking for a meal.
Have a fantastic day and happy snapping.
