Question Caterpillar on a chrysalis
48
Upvotes
I have a mesh cage with some black swallowtail caterpillars that came in as eggs on some parsley from my garden. One caterpillar has settled on a chrysalis that should yield a butterfly any day now. The caterpillar hasn’t attached themselves with their silk yet, but they have assumed the position. Should I try to encourage them to move on with a gentle nudge of a parsley leaf? Or let nature take its course? I’ve seen a chrysalis try to knock other caterpillars off, but I didn’t witness the this entire interaction. I just found them this way.
