Monarch caterpillar in the "J" position just before forming a chrysalis

Monarch caterpillars form this "J" position for about 24 hours before pupating. Unusually, this was on a common milkweed plant. Typically, caterpillars will crawl away from the milkweed plants and pupate somewhere else.

WOW, vous avez magnifiquement photographié cette chenille qui fait de l'acrobatie. C'est une très belle macro et il fallait la trouver.
