photography->butterflies
Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. One of a number of chrysalises that Monarch caterpillars formed in the garden near the milkweed plants. This one chose on the underside of a fence rail, living in the shadows. You can see the walls are getting darker and thinner, and wing colors are becoming visible. In a few days this will turn black and the butterfly will emerge. 100mm macro, EXIF f/16, .5 sec, ISO 250.

Very good close up of a Monarch about to come out, and starts its journey. The monarchs we see know have the longest life stage, and will be migrating. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Whoa, that's a wonderful shot and detail - our granddaughter came home from school a few years ago and asked her mom if a chrysalises was the same as a cocoon, she had to look it up, lol.

Great natural science, Thad. I think when you get the last image I'll have to snag a copy of each and place them, side-by-side, on a black background, to make a real dynamic "start-to-finish" wallpaper. Danke!

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Thanks for the exif data. Well chosen settings in order to capture this phenomenon in the most optimal way, my friend!
