We have just one lonesome caterpillar crawling around now. All the rest are morphing as we speak. Any day now we should have a whole convention of butterflies coming out of their temporary homes.
I am continually fascinated with the look of the monarch chrysalis. It has to be one of the most beautiful shades of jade green I have ever seen. And those tiny gold dots accessorizing it are such a sublime statement. I have never actually come across one of them out in nature. I look forward to the day I do. What a treat that will be! In the meantime, we will continue to enjoy this jewel of nature here in our little aquarium as we await the fluttering of tiny wings!

You know, I've never run across one either... not in any of the thousand nature sojourns my parents took me on, family farms I've played at, etc. Yet, I've seen plenty of monarchs. I wonder, do they hide them high up in trees or something?
Great picture.
