Monarch caterpillar forming a chrysalis

Look how big the caterpillars have grown!
 
 
Some of them have started to hang upside, ready to form a chrysalis.

 
After school on Friday Emily and I noticed one of them begin to wiggle out of it's skin and form a chrysalis.
 
Here is a video of the life cycle, beginning with an egg, and ending with a chrysalis.
How many chrysalis do you think we will have on Monday?
