Chrysalides is the plural of Chrysalis

According to Merriam-Webster, it can also be chrysalises, but chrysalides shows up first. If you're wondering why I had to look that up, it's because I now have 2 chrysalides in my caterpillar jar as of about 9 hours ago! So now we have Ludachrysalis and Heimlich the Chrysalistless (a total turnaround from the constantly eating fatterpillar we knew just yesterday). I caught Heimlich in the middle of his transformation so I took a little video (slightly fast forwarded):

Here are Heimlich and Ludachrysalis side by side:


Carle and ILMLC have both gotten a lot bigger, and ILMLC's starting to turn greener, (which is what soybean loopers do as they get older).

  1. Nice music choice for the video. It captures the emotion and intensity of the scene.
