A yellow, white, and black striped caterpillar with 4 filaments coming off at the ends of its body
A monarchs chrysalis is green with golden bumps. Just before a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the chrysalis becomes transparent.
your ugly
A Monarch Butterfly chrysalis is made of hardened protein called chitin, which is secreted by the caterpillar as it forms the protective outer layer during the pupal stage. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar undergoes metamorphosis, transforming into a butterfly.
I would want to know what the Monarch Butterflies ate during the migration.
A butterfly comes out of a pupa or chrysalis.
Herbivore. Carnivorous butterflys: EEEEKK! They drink nectar.
the monarch butterfly is in the lepidoptera family witch means scaled wings promise ive been studing butterflys
Congratulations may be in order - watch it closely over the next few hours and the butterfly should emerge. The chrysalis turns black as the butterfly's skin forms. When this stage has completed, the butterfly will crack the chrysalis and emerge. See this link for more information http://clayruth.com/emerge.html
The entire life cycle of a monarch butterfly is only about six to eight weeks. The chrysalis stage lasts about ten days.
They eat at least 100 milkweed before they become a chrysalis. Im not sure... Sorry if im wrong, im just in grade 5...
Some chrysalises may be green because they blend in with the foliage for camouflage and protection from predators. The color of the chrysalis can be influenced by the environment where it pupates, such as the color of the leaf it attaches to.
A Monarch chrysalis/pupa (cocoon is actually an improper term) will begin to turn color the day before the butterfly emerges. It will emerge in less than 24 hours once the chrysalis is totally clear and you can see the wings and body inside. If you notice the color change in the evening, it will emerge the next morning. If you see the color change in the morning, it should emerge before noon. If it looks like it's covered in plastic wrap, it won't be immediate. Once it begins to have a wax paper look, it will emerge soon.
