Today I was walking along my local beach (Williamstown,VIC, Australia) and I noticed a lot of dead butterflies all along the shoreline. They looked like monarch butterflies but appeared grey and blueish, very pale hardly any colour. Each one perfectly placed, wings intact but all completely lifeless, scattered across the shore.Does anyone know what this means or what happened?

So we recently found a Caterpillar on a plant we brought inside for the winter. We put him in a small enclosure and fed him plant leaves for a few days. We came in yesterday and he was in the pupa stage but it's only the end of December! I've read a few tips about keeping them in the refrigerator or outside in the garage to slow the hatching process but I'm not completely sure how long this will delay the adult stage. Can we delay it long enough for the spring temps to arrive? Thanks!
