Number 31

We have "hosted" about 40 Monarch chrysallides, 32 of which have emerged and been released. This is a super quickie shot of the 31st. It remains to be seen how many of the remaining chrysallides are viable and will produce butterflies, but our fingers are crossed...

I didn't catch up with commenting today like I said I would, but life got in the way so tomorrow for sure. In the meantime, I am truly enjoying all your images anyway so thank you for sharing.

Peace, y'all!

I don’t think you need my fav, but you’re getting it anyway. A lovely shot and story.

I would love to do that- but I don't have the right plants and nothing grows here! Awesome close-up!
