After munching down many leaves my first White Peacock caterpillar hung in a ‘J’. In the pictures you can see that its body is beginning to turn green. Soon it will be a chrysalis.
This chrysalis has just finished, and it must now harden. White Peacock chrysalises look so much like Monarch chrysalises. They are smaller than Monarch Chrysalises though.
Below is a poem I wrote to go along with the video. When I read it out load, I always end up laughing. I hope you enjoy it too!
The Dancing Chrysalis
It’s old skin had quickly shed
While it dangled from a thread
Its music was a calming wind
Who was a tender-hearted friend
As the breeze began to shift
It produced a gentle lift
The chrysalis so free and light
Gently swayed as if to take flight
But all to soon the music ended
And for now its dancing is suspended
