Monarch Chrysalis
|
The caterpillar wriggles until its skin splits open for the last time. The caterpillar stops moving and the black and yellow strips turn into a special covering called the pupa or chrysalis. The chrysalis protects the Monarch during metamorphosis. In a short time, the chrysalis turns into a hard green case with golden spots. The Monarch stays in the chrysalis for about two weeks.
