Why are the chrysalids shaking?
This is a natural instinct to ward off predators. One of my butterflies emerged deformed! When the butterflies emerge deformed, it’s almost always due to strands of the old caterpillar silk that have remained attached to the chrysalis. Care must be taken during the transfer of the chrysalids to your Butterfly Garden to examine the chryslids for this silk. If you examine the chrysalids closely, you will be able to see it and pull it away. The silk is quite strong and when it’s attached over any of the lines of weakness of the chrysalis, it will interfere with butterfly’s attempt to break free.
