Emergence !


The first caterpillar we collected from wild milkweed in our yard, on the 19th of August, emerges from its jade and gold chrysalis September 1st, Labor Day. Click on the picture to enlarge it...and check out the intricate structures that were created inside the chrysalis...amazing !
It was a perfect day to enter the world on wings...warm and sunny with jsut the lightest breeze.
