There’s not a lot of advice for a situation like this. Would it be more humane to euthanize her? Or should I keep her inside as long as she could survive? She needed to get to Mexico, or she would freeze or be eaten. So what to do? It was the migration season, and she couldn’t fly. I had already decided to keep her inside overnight, and in the morning, not much had changed. I thought she flew a tiny bit but then realized it was more of a jump with a flutter. Unfortunately, when I got home from work that night, her wings still weren’t straight. She knew she needed to be able to hang to let her wings dry. I struggled to get her back into the cage because she was desperate to climb up my hands rather than be set down. Her wings were limp, which I thought meant she might be new enough that she still had time to finish drying. It didn’t take much to pull the chrysalis off. I cut down the chrysalis, and we gently laid her on a towel. Luckily, my husband was at home that morning to assist. And I’m already helping by raising monarchs indoors, away from predators. But how in the world could I not help?! It was terrible to watch her frantic struggling.

If this problem occurs, it is because something is wrong and the monarch isn’t healthy enough to live.

It was obvious that she had been struggling to free herself for some time.īest practices say that you should not help a monarch who is stuck.

Her head and wings were out, but her abdomen was stuck to the very top of the chrysalis. But when I checked on her, I noticed a that not only had she emerged, there was major problem: she was stuck in the chrysalis. So when it was time for the 12th birth, the day after Labor Day, I didn’t even try to wake up early to catch it. Most of the time, when a butterfly emerged from its chrysalis, the big event happened before I woke up. This was our first year of raising monarchs.
