We don't typically touch our Monarch caterpillars (my four-year-old was dying to know what they felt like!), we most frequently just move the leaf that the caterpillar is chomping on, or we use a wet tipped 1/2" paint brush to move our caterpillars when daily cleaning out their habitat.

***I'm THRILLED to have 14 chrysalis's and 4-6 more getting ready to change tomorrow!  Ah-mazing!

***Another caterpillar died today.  I'm pretty sure this one was also bit to death.  Sad.  So far we have a 50/53 survival rate, still MUCH higher than the 10% survival rate in the 'wild!'
