I raised this monarch from a very tiny larva until it went through its wonderful transformation into a butterfly. I felt like a kid again!
It was wonderful!!

This bejeweled crysallis can only be described as miraculous...as is everything that Mother Nature invents.I spent the entire summer searching milkweed patches for caterpillars and crysallises. Nada! Oh...I could lots of stories about my failed journeys into butterfly husbandry...your success is the object of my envy! #7984646
