Caterpillar Castle question.....

12 years ago

I have a quick question about the caterpillar castle offered by live monarch. Does the monarch caterpillar just pupate on the mesh at the top of the cage? Sorry if this is a "duh" question but I couldn't find info about it or google any pictures. Thanks in advance, Tony

The cats will make a chrysalis anywhere they want but the majority would anchor themselves to the mesh on top.

They still sell the originail version of this which is so much better than the copy cat knockoffs. https://www.livemonarch.com/castle.htm
