Monarch chrysalis. Protected from the wind in the Big T’s butterfly shelter. This is the second chrysalis he’s rescued from the wild weather, and hopefully this one will also emerge a butterfly soon.
Six Word Saturday: waiting for the chrysalis to emerge

So beautiful, and how amazing to have a shelter for them. Not sure I could ever leave it . . . I’d just be sitting there waiting for it to emerge!!

Need a video camera that bleeps at the first crinkle of life! How long does it take them to emerge and then dry their wings?

Thanks Sarah. We’re hopeful too. The last one survived despite the odds, and I think this one has a better chance because it’s been less disrupted. xxx

Hi Joanne; wouldn’t a chrysalis-design make a fabulous necklace? I love the contrast between the bright green and gold flecks.
