We are not sure what is happening, but our butterflies are dying in their chrysalises. We have lost three butterflies so far. Momma did some research and we are spritzing them with water. Daddy thinks that they may be drying out even though it is so humid.
We cleaned the aquarium out and will not put any new caterpillars in it until all the butterflies hatch (or die 🙁 ) and we clean it good with bleach. So the largest caterpillars are in the butterfly cage for now.
Today one egg hatched and we found a medium size caterpillar while getting food for all the caterpillars.
That is sad that they were dying, but learning about it is something good.
