Butterfly Update

Okay, okay, I know I've gone on about this long enough. I promise - last update. There are 13 caterpillars that we can find, and one unopened chrysalis. (The one on the block wall opened and we missed it.) What an exciting summer this has been!

The Final Stage

Isn't she beautiful? Took about 15 minutes to emerge and we were so lucky to catch it.

Almost There

One of the chrysalises has turned black. Sorry this picture is so poor. We can see the folded wings through the shell. The other two have not turned, but they will soon. There are five more caterpillars on the plant.
