Thanks Elizabeth for that info.
I haven't seen them moulting and only read about it last week.
And I missed the actual change of this one into the Chrysalis too as I had to go out. And the skin layer was sitting on top of it ready to drop off.
I must check them out - we've had so many butterflies laying eggs lately so I must try and get some inside again.
Two 'pleats' - do you mean at the very top or just below where the lines around it show?
Thx
