I didn't know a chrysalis fell right after forming in its habitat. It didn't look good: it was flat on one side. I tried to hang it with dental floss (a disaster) then a paper binder (they don't make them like they used to) and then resorted to what has worked for me. I put it on the top of a habitat that is covered with netting. It rested there like on a trampoline until yesterday. On its back, it reached up for my finger. We both worked hard for the good ending. It's very slightly twisted but wings and body look great. Don't know the gender yet but it leaves for Mexico today. Go monarchs.
