It was also over 14 days into pupation, but eclosed late this morning without incident. A female, I tagged her as AJRS 275 and she flew right off. Nan Burke Westborough From: Nancy E. Burke [mailto:<nanburke...>] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2024 7:38 PM To: 'Mass Leps' <masslep...> Subject: Monarch mis-eclosure in Westborough A chrysalis which had been 20 days into pupation, started eclosure about 9:30 this morning. It could not free itself from the chrysalis, as the feet had little to grasp and it hadn't cracked the shell enough. After an hour, I removed the chrysalis skin from it, and the emergent monarch climbed up the side of the cage. Unfortunately, the wings must have dried out, as it could not pump them out with the hemolymph, and it kept trying to push the wings out with its rear feet. This chrysalis had fallen from the top of the cage after a strong rainstorm about 7 days into pupation. I was able to attach it to a branch I had in the cage. It looked normal, but I'd been having questions about it after it got beyond 14 days. I will euthanize the unfortunate butterfly. I have a remaining chrysalis in the cage, about a week old and should eclose in a about a week, depending on the temperature. That will be it for this year's monarchs for me. Hopefully I will be able to tag that one. It would be the only one this year. Nan Burke -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MassLep" group.
