The release sequence. This time we released it straight from the bottle — doing so on our front steps.
From caterpillar to freed, healthy butterfly.
This was the SECOND Monarch Butterfly that we hatched
& successfully freed.
We have a third, still in the chrysalis phase inside that same BIG plastic bottle.
The 3rd caterpillar was a few days behind the 2nd in terms of
going into its cocoon. So, it will not emerge for a few days yet.
It is always neat to see the whole process from caterpillar to flying butterfly.
Also very gratifying to see it fly away. Hope it does well.
So, we still have one more to FREE. Stay tuned for the photos.
