Empty

This morning I checked on the Painted Lady butterfly chrysalis. I knew it was ready to open, because i could see the butterfly through the chrysalis.

That was the good news. The bad news was that I had somewhere to go today. I checked on it as soon as I got home this afternoon and this is what I found. I missed the grand opening!

The Black Swallowtail caterpillar was still on the hemlock, I talked Jeff into helping me get it for my butterfly habitat. It was in the middle of some high weeds and brush. He's such a good sport about my 365 addiction!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my pic yesterday! We had an awesome time last night on our anniversary date! :0)
