toadstar Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 There's been a monarch caterpillar hanging out in the milkweed patch in the garden and today it pupated so I thought I'd show it off here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've raises those, what's amazing is hours before it's ready to hatch the inside is see through so you see black and orange! If you get up early morning at sunrise on that day you might be able to get a photo as they hatch early morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Those chysalises are beautiful. Pictures don't do them justice- I reared some this summer, and they had gold flecks on the chrysalis. It was almost unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadstar Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 It emerged yesterday and we released it this morning. It didn't stay around too long; took only a few minutes to sun itself before taking off. It's got a long journey ahead of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
