Cut a load of basil to make pesto the other day but unfortunately some Monarch chrysalids were hiding in it. Found them before they hit the blender

Put those stalks of basil in a jam jar and I'm keeping it in the conservatory for now.
a few days on and you can start to see the wings inside:
Others from the same army took up in the hibiscus:
I estimate I have about 50 chrysalids hanging around at the moment!
Nothing to do with the Monarchs but I also found these eggs on the basil - amazing symmetry! No idea what they belong to.
