Monarch Caterpillar Forming Chrysalis Time-Lapse

*slower time-lapse: vimeo.com/1280489*
Watching three monarch caterpillars over the Fourth of July holiday for my son's day camp. The largest one dropped into J formation yesterday evening around 5pm. Today at approximately 8:45am he formed a chrysalis.
I recorded this one with iStopMotion on my Mac at 30fps taking a picture every 20 seconds. The formation of the chrysalis was very quick. For the next one I think I will record it at a picture every 5 seconds or maybe even every second. It's just difficult to determine when the little fellas are going to work their magic.

Thanks AJ!
The next one was shot at a frame every 3 seconds: vimeo.com/1280489
It is slower for sure. I've got one more pillar who'll be ready to go tomorrow I think. I plan on recording him in real-time since the whole thing takes all of 3 minutes.
thanks.
