After the Monarch Caterpillar gets it's skin shed it still surrounds it's feet. So to get rid of it there is quite a neat dance of swinging and twirling in order to get the old skin to fall of. Neighbors near by may be wondering what's going on, and if they are next???,
Once the skin is off, everything calms down and the caterpillar continues to excrete the gel that will cover everything, dry as the caterpillar runs around inside and finds it's next resting position and forms the chrysalis.
