Hi Bugman. I couldn’t resist sharing this photo of a Zebra Longwing that I raised in a habitat and released after it’s fourth instar. It soon made it’s chrysalis on our passion vine and came out beautiful. We have a problem with large ants, wasps and lizards and lose a lot of caterpillars when they are young. So, I decided to rescue this one right after it hatched. I feel like a proud parent.

The ants just ate a new chrysalis of a zebra longwing. What to do? Must I re-locate each chrysalis?
