He must have hatched out during the night - I checked just at dark and then again first thing this morning - and here he is! All fresh and pretty. Stayed hanging there for several hours - then went straight up and off into the blue sky.
@jgpittenger I thought about that (and actually did a tighter crop, but also wanted to show how far that chrysalis was buried in the middle of that lantana bush - amazing I even found it.)
The details are amazing!
Has this butterfly hatch from that jade chrysalis that you posted recentaly?
A great capture.
