Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly


I'm missing the egg picture, but I'll find some sooner or later! Found this guy hanging from a fence rail today, preparing for the chrysalis stage...


...which looks like this, hanging a little ways down on the same rail...

Which will eventually turn into this, the Monarch Butterfly. Another amazing wonder of God's Creation. Never ceases to amaze.

I'm betting her secret involves patience and always having a camera nearby.
Very nice sequence!

LOL! FC is correct. :) I wish it was something I planted, but my yard is green and only green. There is a park with a butterfly garden near me, that's where the majority of these come from.
