I live in Timaru & now have my 3rd good-sized monarch butterfly with wing problems. The butterflies have wings that stay permanently creased & crumpled, or that never unfold. I’ve noticed that the chrysalis of these ones opens a fraction then nothing happens for quite a while. When the butterfly does emerge it’s very slowly & appears to have problems becoming fully emerged. I wonder if it is the slowness of the emergence process that causes this, that the wings are partially drying while still in the chrysalis. Others have emerged easily & have wings that are straight. Does anyone else either have this problem or know why it happens?
