Hi
I received some chrysalis in the mail. Unfortunately, most did not survive. However 2 came out of the chrysalis in the mail and I helped them get out.
Is there anyway I can help them recover?
Please Help!

It may survive. Did it have any problems with them. Other than the ones that died. If not they should be fine
-
I'm surprised any survived. The resilience of insects.
My experience with abnormal emergences caused by getting stuck in the exit hole of a cocoon ,or the inability
to shed the pupal casing is that the animal has used all it's energy up and always have shorter life spans.
There's not many options for a sick or weak insect. When they don't expand their wings in the natural way,
they never do, I've kept moths that didn't expand properly in the hopes I could at least get a pairing, I've never had
any luck with that. the animals die much sooner than normal,
