Welcome Everyone!

The season is uponst me! My odd little hobby of raising Monarch Butterlies has now gone into high gear and upon persistent urging...I have finally begun to put down all of the excitement that will take place over the next 6 weeks or so.
Thank-you very much for reading this blog and perhaps you will find yourself wanting to help a critter on this planet that needs help.

Anthony is now a Chrysalis



Anthony is in his beautiful Chrysalis.  If you look very closely you can begin to see the outline of wings (*left and right side where the green is a bit different).

Also - note the ring around the top of the Chrysalis, it is black and gold.     As the days go by those top rings will actually look like metallic gold has been added.   It is so incredible.    The Chrysalis is decorated almost like a Christmas ornament.

I will  take more pics as the Chrysalis undergoes subtle changes.    A Monarch Butterfly should come out around July 22 - give or take a day.    I will keep you posted.

And tonight - very special news, Cleopatra had her last munch as a Caterpillar!
