How neat. I put about 7 sticks in my 10 gallon tank for my BSTs to pupate and two are on the same stick, one is on the side of the flower pot, and the rest are on the side of the glass.....sigh.

You can take them off if you want. I volunteer at a butterfly house and we do it all the time to protect them from various things, predators, visitors, etc. Cut the silk girdle with a pair of scissors, then tease the silk pad with a needle till the chrysalis comes away. Then you can use a low temp gluegun to glue it to a stick or whatever you want. Just make sure to line it up on the proper side. This will free up your tank as well.
