We found a chrysalis on a plant outside our door, and left it alone for a few weeks. After 2-3 hard frosts, we assumed it was dead, so clipped the branch and brought it inside in a terrarium to look at it. Two days later the Monarch hatched! We kept it with fruit and small amount of honey water, then sent it with friends on their drive to Florida. They are watching the migration patterns and will release it where it will have the highest likelihood of surviving.
