This is my family room,
also know as
The Butterfly Oasis - The Butterfly Room - The Butterfly Nursery
All of the caterpillars are chrysalis now,
all are indoors,
all are indoors,
soon they will be moved to the garage for over wintering.
There are a total of 3 cages, 52 chrysalis,
all of the caterpillars formed into chrysalis at different times.
Occasionally, a chrysalis will fall, that's fine,
I have found they emerge anyway.
I have found they emerge anyway.
The caterpillars like sticks,
and corners in which to form their chrysalis.
They turn brown to mimic the stick and to camouflage themselves from predators.
They will all emerge in spring.

The perfect room for a butterfly oasis. I wouldn't mind sitting on one of those chairs, enjoying the sunshine and that view!
You have much to look forward to next spring.
That camouflage is really effective. It wasn't until the last photo that I actually saw them.
And what a lovely room.
You are the butterfly whisperer, Debbie. Love this!
They have the perfect setting for sure.
Hello, Debbie
I agree with Marie above. You are the butterfly whisperer. You have created a wonderful oasis for the butterflies.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend. PS, thanks so much for the visit and comment.
Really? Do you have butterflies in the living room?
That's the first time I've seen something like that!
You are absolutely the butterflies whisperer!
Have a great weekend!
How nice! A butterfly nursery... ;)
That really is amazing! You have such a beautiful home and a room that looks so pretty and comfortable. Love that you have the butterflies to work with too. You really are the butterfly whisperer!
Quite a fun project!
Are those laundry containers?? 😅
Also, LOVE the little round blue mosaic tables on the deck!
How wonderful that is to see!
WOW! You have quite the system there. They do look like a part of the stick.
Now the wait until spring, nice to have big windows for them to sit by. So cool how they mimic the sticks!
Those caterpillars have it lucky ... they really wouldn’t even have to hide with you as their housemother! You do such great work!
Cool! I saw some at a nature center. So nice that people are helping them.
their homes are butterfly "cages" designed just for them. if you google it, you will see it is a really popular hobby these days. there are many shapes and sizes to choose from, some even come with butterfly eggs!!
and i love those tables too, they are new this year...along with the reclining, cushioned chairs we bought!!
That's very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing what you get!
Amazing Debbie, thank you for sharing these pictures …
All the best Jan
