| Jo Body, of High Road, Benfleet, was horror-struck when she found the black hairy beasts hatching from chrysalises on her neighbour's tree. |
|
| There are at least seven chrysalises, dozens of caterpillars in all sizes and one egg. |
|
| They will turn into chrysalises and, after a few weeks, into butterflies or moths. |
|
| If you see no monarch eggs, caterpillars or chrysalises, trim the plants back now and treat with jets of water or a little insecticidal soap. |
|
| Thousands of live chrysalises enter the country every week to supply butterfly houses. |
|
| This means that their eggs, chrysalises or larvae are likely to be in or near your yard during the non-gardening months. |
|
| Images of chrysalises and butterflies suggest regeneration for the survivors. |
|
| After two to four weeks, caterpillars envelop themselves in jade-green chrysalises, where they stay for 10 to 14 days. |
|
| Then, over the course of several weeks, the children watched the caterpillars grow bigger, spin their chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies. |
|
| Some are now encased in chrysalises hanging From the milkweed plants, waiting to emerge as orange-and-black beauties and continue their journey. |
|
| Caterpillars grown from larvae and chrysalises developed into butterflies. |
