Hi
By way of introduction, living in East Scotland with very boggy tree lined
garden. Enjoy every day out in the garden (retired - huh????) when it's
fine - often this year but this is a freak!!

Q - where do all the green catapillars on my kale (that haven't been
squidged on a dawn raid) go to do their chysalis bit?

Pat


Plural is chrysalides, oddly enough.

But I don't know about your green caterpillars. But do all caterpillar
form chrysalides (which IIRC are hard and shiny) or do they mostly have
soft, spun, fibrous cocoons?
