The changing of a caterpillar to a butterfly is one thing in nature that amazes me. Another thing is a tadpole to a frog. Love to see the changing faces of nature.

Hasn't "our Karen" really opened our eyes to the beauty of catepillers turning into butterflies?! When she began, I added her to my home page and am an enchanted follower. So lovely to see your beautiful picture(s) and give her a nod. Looks like you had a beauty-filled day!

Wow! How long did he hang out there before trying his wings?

@Becky - the butterfly was already out when I first saw it, although a bit more crinckled. It flew off soon after I took the pic - I think it was about 15 minutes that I hovered watching. (I missed the actual departure ... I was busy watching another one wriggle out of a pupa.)
