My Yard ~ Red-spotted Purple

I had 5 Red-spotted Purple caterpillars on 2 small potted black cherry trees. When 3 got large enough to pupate, they either went on walkabout to make their chrysalis or were eaten so I saved 2 of them just about when they got really to pupate. One of them decided to pupate on the pot and not on the tree.
