Very nicely done. Never seen one, though I do see the adults. It was presumably wandering to find a place to make a chrysalis.

It has already started making one in the temporary container I had it in. I was getting some things for it to eat and then I noticed it had already started it's "J" on the side of the container. Oh well, I'll just have to keep an eye out on it now instead of putting it in a more acceptable (to me) container...

Well, it's in it's Chrysalis now. I took a couple of images of it but I inadvertently knocked it off the side of the container. I am hoping to see if I was able to reattach it sucessfully to a stick with some thread.
