Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. About an hour after emerging from the chrysalis, the Monarch turned herself to begin opening and closing her wings. Between flutters, she stayed perfectly still while hanging onto the chrysalis between the pickets of the fence where the chrysalis was formed.

If it was not for the opened chrysalis at the top, one might imagine from viewing the wings that this was either a fractal of some kind or a mirrored image or simply cgi. Reality, however, is often stranger than fiction. Kudos for making such a unique capture, Thad. Truly one of a kind.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
