Yesterday I seen a caterpillar hanging upside down in a J shape and I knew that it was going to turn into a chrysalis. Went back today to see if the transformation happened … and it did.
So exciting, thinking about the beauty that will emerge in a matter of days. I raised several dozen monarch caterpillars late last summer. Lots of work involved (hunting for milkweed and cleaning up after the ferocious eaters) but so, so worth it to witness the unveiling of a Monarch butterfly. Wonderful light you had for this photograph.
That is so exciting to see happen - just had one summer where I got to watch this several times - haven't spotted any since. Such nice lighting on the chrysalis.
