Hello everyone!!!

so, on April 28 of this year, they gave me a pupa-see photo - and I do not know what to do with it! I want to grow it and release it. Help please oprelelit that this for butterfly - after all neznaya this, I not can create its conditions for razvitiya. And in general, how to properly keep a pupa at home?? Good people, if someone raised a butterfly HIMSELF - share your experience!!!!

What should I do with it? "hang it up?" bury it in the ground? in the heat and whether to put in the cool? how long does this condition take? when will it hatch?

The pupa was found by a neighbor in the dacha (where exactly-in the ground, on a tree, etc. - it was not possible to find out). I live in Simferopol, Crimea. The pupa on the first day was yellow, and on the next day it turned dark brown and hardened. Although even now, if you touch it with your finger , it moves! The body is 2 cm long, 6 mm wide, fusiform, smooth, without protrusions, divided into 9 segments.
I keep it in a flower pot on the windowsill.
the file name is the date of the snapshot.

- sincerely, Lena
