Some Interesting Video of Our Chrysalis

Last night when I was adding the last of the chrysalis to the aquarium I noticed this particular chrysalis's back end was extremely wiggly. It was intersting for me to watch this. I've never seen any of them do this in all the years I've working on this project.

 



Then these two were the last to go into the aquarium and this is what I recorded. I'm wondering why these two are as active as they are and why just this end of the chrysalis? Any thoughts?

Neat Transformations - Day 14

When I came into work this morning and looked at our chrysalis's I discovered one was getting really close to finishing its transformation. Here are some pictures. 

 This is just an interesting picture one of the kids took. 

Look at how transparent the outer layer of the chrysalis is. You can see the inside of the it and see parts of the butterfly. So cool....
