My kids and I found a pupa, put it in our Bugville Treehouse, and it emerged today!!! We let it go after a few hours and it flew off just like it was supposed to do. We rounded up two more pupa and put them in the treehouse, too. They are so lovely! Pics are on my blog at http://ramblingfamilymanager.blogspot.co
