Chysalis Identification

Not a clue sorry, but the link below may help you figure it out ;-)

Not a problem...we do have one or 2 butterfly experts on here but just tried to tide you over in the mean time ;-)

Red Admiral - will take about 14 days - have you kept it? if so a deep pot with a stick to allow the butterfly something to climb up once it emerges so it can hand and expand the wings

Just checked back on the one I 'grew' in 2020 - I found the cat on 6th August - it was trying to pupate on a curtain, it was fully formed and settled on 14th August and eclosed (emerged) on 24th - it was a warm period

Amazing thank you! I do still have it, I hope it's OK, will it be OK indoors whilst it develops? I will take your advice about putting it in a pot. I didn't want to leave it n the garden somewhere in case a bird got it or something. Should I wet it every now and then with a few droplets of water? What if it emerges during the night and doesn't have anything to eat, should I leave something out for it? (So sorry for all the questions but I would hate to do it any harm).

You hopefully won't need to do anything - place a piece of kitchen towel in the bottom of the container - as it's a butterfly it should emerge in the day - just keep a visual check on it a couple of times a day. You may see it change colour
