Summer in the South NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS Mature caterpillars keep a cluster of Monarch chrysalises company. I call this group Heathers, after a grim movie from the '80s. The first group pupated exactly two weeks after the eggs were laid. The adult butterflies should emerge in about 10 days. Submit a picture. Copyright © 2004 Consolidated Publishing Co.
