How do you reattach a monarch butterfly chrysalis if it falls off the milkweed plant?

One way that I have used is to use hot glue. Be sure the glue is in the cooling stage and place a drop on a horizontal stick of wood or other porous surface (so the butterfly can hold on to) that is horizontal. Then carefully touch the chrysalis to the glue at the same point where it was originally attached.
