Some of you might remember that I have a friend who looks for Monarch eggs on the bottom of milkweed leaves. She takes them home where they are safe from predators, and takes care of them through their stages. She can tell when their about ready to come out and turn into a beautiful butterfly.

When they are released they are wet, and need to dry out, so this is a great time to take pictures of them, but have to be handled carefully. They like being placed on something warm, it helps them to dry out.

This cute little girl seemed to enjoy herself, even though the monarch was dripping on her.

Thanks so much for your comments,and I do have more to share.
