Chrysalis Ready

I took this picture this morning.  I move the chrysalis and attach to a stick with thread to make it easier to watch.  This picture show chrysalis at three different stages.  They remain green for several days before starting to getting dark.  The middle one is just starting to turn.  The one on the right has turned black and translucent.  You can see the Monarch wings and it will likely emerge in a few hours.   

awesome !

At 11:02 AM,  the Monarch emerged and was a girl.
At least they don't eat their brain like a starfish!

It's got to feel a bit odd, like your kids leaving home or selling off the old truck!
So special to see this. Thanks for sharing.
That’s cool!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

We had two more emerge yesterday for a total of four flying off.  There have been two males and two females.
