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? Pat |

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. -- Tumbleweed Remove theobvious before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |
