Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. In the hours leading to the Monarch emerging from the chrysalis, it darkens, as seen here. The beads of water are left from a night of rain (three inches). The wings are visible in the thinning walls of the chrysalis.

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?

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

(Sing with me, now, Thad...) "How much is that monarch in the window? The one with the dotted black trim?" Such a simple but yet terrific series, its status elevated by the super sharp focus you've given it. Another one for the collage I plan to create from them. Spaciba!
