I rescued this pupa two days ago while still milky green but the leaf it was on had fallen to the ground, forcing me to rescue it. I place it in an smal hamster cage set up to receive optimal sunlight and surrounded by black slates to absorb and re-radiate heat at night (it got down to 38 F two nights ago!) and this seemed to speed up the chrysalis' metamorphosis. Today the case was empty when I got home at 4:30PM and I fond the new female adult climbing up the fence behind its hatchery. I moved it from th shade to full sun and left it alone. When I checked back in 10 mins, it had flown off.
