Yesterday we watched a Monarch hatch- very cool. The chrysalis was initially green with golden spots. It eventually turned black and it became more and more translucent towards the end. Late in the afternoon the sun warmed up the chrysalis and it opened up very quickly in just 1 min!
We were lucky to watch the big moment:
A few of my crappy iphone shots:
Back to Rick's camera:
It climbed a little higher, continued to let the wings dry all night and then it flew off this morning. It was wonderful to watch .
