I never manage to get hold of enough Queens! Even at MOSI, we don't have them very often. Rarely do we get one that makes a pink chrysalis, either. But they do look smaller and paler overall to me. Of course, Monarchs can vary a lot in size, too, and sometimes you get the runt of the litter. My mission this year is to find Queens and study their chrysalis! And hope they aren't parasatized like the one Mom found last year (she was so proud to find that big caterpillar). And with my new microscope I can analyze them even closer!
