Monarch Butterfly Metamorphosis: Part Two ~ Chrysalis

The Monarch Butterfly Metamorphosis continues with the jewel-like chrysalis that might be hanging under any twig or leaf in a field or garden where milkweed grows.

Glimpses of a Metamorphosis ~ Raising Monarch Butterflies ~ A Sneak Peek

July's ending finds all of my Monarch chrysalis casings empty. The joy of raising and releasing Monarch Butterflies is not finished for this year, however, for the process begins anew . . .  with more eggs and small caterpillars to care for. It has been a fabulous Monarch butterfly season here at Flower Hill Farm. I hope you enjoy a few glimpses into the magical metamorphosis. There will be more to come later on.
