Our last chrysalis emerged probably sometime overnight. We had adopted it out to a teacher at our school. She observed that its wings were not properly formed and it was shivering when she found it this morning. She hastened its demise. As with many of our caterpillars raised this year we found this one in the soybean field. It developed slower than others and was small when it formed a chrysalis. Maybe it was a victim of pesticide use on the field. Will report final numbers raised in another report. This was a sad note to end our season on but I have to think of all the rest who were possibly helped by our keeping them from predators...
