3 Future Butterflies in the Library
As you enter the big room at
Lee Memorial Library
, be sure to look to your left and check out the large mesh enclosure.
It is the home to three butterfly chrysalises — two Monarchs and a Black Swallowtail — that my wife and I donated to the library.
The Monarchs could emerge any day. The Black Swallowtail is likely a couple of weeks away.
The library did a great job displaying the chrysalises.
I've included some photos.
Next time you're in the library, take a look but don't check them out.
