The chrysalis is formed and the pupa is attempting to disconnect the shedded skin from to top of the chrysalis. If the pupa is unsuccessful, try gently teasing the skin away with a thin paint brush. This is the final step before the new chrysalis will hang still to dry and harden in preparation for 10-14 days of creation. The average time in our home for each chrysalis has been 11.5 days before a new monarch emerges.
