Nature Done Wright

Thanks to Julie McCall, I was able to monitor the progress of a Monarch chrysalis after Julie had noticed a Monarch caterpillar on a blade of tall grass in the Green Way field on August 24.

I had never realized how a chrysalis changed in appearance, or how delicate it was — a point driven home after the butterfly hatched on Sept. 17. (Photo above)

Here are some pix that Julie and I took over the past few weeks. I hope they are in order. :- )

(Thank you, Julie!)
