Found this caterpillar about 2 weeks ago. Kept him happy and well fed on milkweed leaves and today the chrysalis turned from green to clear. About 20 minutes after this was shot the butterfly emerged.

Here are some other pictures from the same day. I put them on my Flickr page because I wasn't sure they'd go over well here.

The subject matter is fabulous, but the artistic quality of this photograph makes it even more spectacular. I love the lighting, your choice of positioning within the frame and the amazing detail. What a terrific shot!
