My last Monarch of 2009

Uploaded: October 10, 2009

Description

This is the monarch butterfly hatched from the caterpillar I found in our garden in September.
He hatched on Tuesday night and I released him on Wednesday after it had warmed up a bit.
He flew away strongly so I hope he makes it to Mexico for the winter.

I hope you have a super Saturday ;)

thank you for stopping by and for all the encouraging comments!
