Into the Chrysalis From Caterpillar to Chrysalis (or, From Larva to Pupa) This caterpillar is about to change into a chrysalis. The change will be so great — and so sudden— that you'll think a new creature has appeared before your eyes. Watch for these clues: First the caterpillar will stop eating and climb to a safe place. Then it will hang upside down in the shape of a "J." That means the larva will pupate within 24 hours. This Season Teachers Kids Orientation Registration Search Copyright 1997-2009 Journey North.
