Newbie - Chrysalis (or multiples of)
 

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?

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?

Even if they spin cocoons, there will be a hard chrysalis inside.

Oddly? Not for a greek word, surely?
