When caterpillars choose a location to form the chrysalis, some things can go wrong. Past episodes have shown how to relocate a J-hanging caterpillar, or even re-hang a fallen chrysalis. But what if the J-hanging caterpillar should fall before forming a chrysalis? What then? Is it an issue that needs to be dealt with, and what are some options? This was a "chance occurrence" episode, so to speak, filmed on the spot having found myself in this exact situation. Spoiler: All worked well, and he's already been released as a healthy, migrating adult!
