2․2 Chrysalis Habitat Setup

To create a suitable habitat for the chrysalis, place the cup in a safe, upright position away from direct sunlight and drafts․ Ensure the environment remains stable and calm to support the transformation process․ If a chrysalis falls, gently reattach it to the lid using a small amount of glue or tape․ Proper setup ensures successful emergence and a healthy butterfly․ Always follow instructions for optimal results․

Setting Up the Butterfly Habitat

Place the caterpillar cup in a quiet, secure location, ensuring it remains upright․ Position it away from direct sunlight and drafts to promote healthy development and transformation․

3․1 Placing the Caterpillar Cup

Position the caterpillar cup in a quiet, secure spot, ensuring it remains upright to prevent caterpillars from escaping․ Place it away from direct sunlight and drafts to maintain optimal conditions․ Monitor daily, allowing the caterpillars to feed and grow undisturbed for 7–10 days․ This setup ensures a stable environment for their development before entering the chrysalis stage․

3․2 Maintaining the Right Environment

Maintaining the right environment is crucial for the caterpillars’ growth․ Keep the cup upright and away from direct sunlight to avoid overheating․ Ensure the temperature remains stable, ideally between 68–78°F (20–25°C), and avoid cold drafts․ This care promotes healthy growth and prepares the caterpillars for the chrysalis stage, ensuring a successful transformation into butterflies․
