From our website: hi, Thank you for looking at the attached photos re our one and only monarch pupae! do you think I should get some tweezers and gently try to remove the skin? The caterpillar transformation took place about 4:30pm today. When I gently tried to push the skin away, it appears fully mobile but attached to the cremaster. Do I need to worry about this or just leave it alone? Also, I have tipped the box 90 degrees so the chrysalis is hanging/suspended rather than hangin down the side
