Hey Red Greg
I've seen a couple come out now and I have one more chrysalis that should emerge next week. Luckily the Swan Plant is growing in a pot so I can bring it inside. I set the camera and tripod up in the spare bedroom, and have been wearing a pathway in the carpet checking out if it is going to open up soon.
I have 6 plants in the garden, and 3 of them have had nearly all of their leaves eaten. Hopefully they will keep growing new leaves. There were 11 caterpillars on the plants last week and they have all gone away to make their cocoons and I don't know where 10 of them are!!
Some now have tiny new caterpillars starting the life cycle all over again.
I do have some more photos of these beauties to post too. Also putting them up on TL.
Best regards to you, Joanna and Michal
