I'll post some pictures. I used to have an enclosure outside, which was much bigger, that I kept them in, but it kind of fell apart after a while and my husband hasn't had time to build me another yet. Your site looks very nice - I'll have to look through it more closely! Lori,

I had about a dozen Black Swallowtails form chrysalises last fall and I put them all outside (I was afraid they would emerge too early if I didn't). Unfortunately, all but one disappeared without a trace. I am hoping the last one will hold off for a few more weeks when I do a program on butterflies for a local park. PS my new website has lots of photos, including many of butterflies. Where did you keep your chrysalises over the winter?
