Moved some chrysalises this morning!

7 Chrysalises total, and 35 Caterpillars (5 of which are hanging)

And I'll probably go out and see how many more tinies I can find later.

My interpretation of the sky dog chrysalis from @xiranjayzhao book iron widow. 

( Sooooo the sky dog Tiangou from my very superficial research appears to be depicted a couple different ways for example as a black dog, meteor or oddly a white headed fox? I don’t know how reliable Wikipedia is on the subject. So I decided to base it on a dog breed from China the chow chow. With a ball in its mouth as a reference to the sky dogs eating the sun or moon during eclipses. I don’t think the sky dog was actually depicted in the book we only saw it’s Male pilots who wore a earth-type spirit metal suit so it’s safe to assume that the sky dog is also made of earth-type of spirit metal.)

For the anonymous ask, this is the “sling” I was talking about. I don’t know if this is what you meant. It is tied around the top leaving the bottom open. Sorry for the bad quality pictures, I only had old photos that I zoomed in on.
