I was given a few milkweed plants the neighbors were getting rid of as they were doing over the garden. I took them with great expectations that in the future I would get monarch butterflies. Little did I know that they each had a little tiny egg on a leaf. This one ate a whole plant and turned into the amazing monarch's chrysalis. The black mound you see beside the chrysalis is it's skin that it shed just before it went into the chrysalis. I have been watching these caterpillars and it is an absolutely amazing journey they take to become that beautiful and rare monarch. I will post more shots at a later date.
