Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. This week, a monarch chrysalis transformed overnight, from green to black, with the walls thinning so the colors of the wings could be seen. Less than an hour after this photo was taken, the butterfly emerged and spent the next five hours drying hanging on a plant branch, expelling moisture and filling out the wings before flying away.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Destination Mexico, Thad?

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I saw some caterpillar's on our milkweed the other day along with a couple fluttering monarchs as well. Very nice closeup.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
Terrific capture Thad and great find as well - another majestic monarch has entered the world - hope his/her migration goes well!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is fascinating Thad. I've never seen the transformation before except on television. Good find.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
