Nice!

I would have been stressed out that the dried leaf would fall off and take the butterfly with it.

From the time the chrysalis cracks till the butterfly is semi full (last frame) about 5 minutes. We hatched 32 this year.

This is excellent. My mother and grandmother have always been obsessed with Butterflies. I am very intrigued by the whole metamorphosis cycle.

How do you "farm" butterflies so to speak?

We just planted a garden of Milkweed, waited for butterflies to lay eggs, and transferred caterpillars to indoor plants until they emerged.
