Biology: Our first Chrysalis!

We had been noticing that one of our Painted Lady caterpillars had been hanging upside down from the ceiling of their container for about a day.  It was hanging in the classical "j" shaped posture.  and this morning W checked on the caterpillars and sure enough, this was the first one to pupate.  Sooooo exciting!  We expect the rest will follow in the next couple of days.  They should emerge from their chevaliers within a week plus of pipetting.
