After the
caterpillar makes a J-shape it spins silk from its mouth and wraps itself in the
silk. This is called a chrysalis. The caterpillar stays in its chrysalis
for a week or so. It has no food but it can still live. Sometimes
you can see the butterfly's wings. The chrysalis changes colors from gray
to green to black. Then the butterfly breaks out of the chrysalis.
