OK, I am really into butterfly's right now. I took these photos today day with all butterfly stages in and around the Casa gardens. I am having so much fun sharing my finds with everyone.
1. Caterpillars all over the Milkweed. I could see a dozen within a small area.
2. Monarch caterpillar forming into the pupa, or chrysalis. They crawl across sidewalks-I warn everyone who is walking and working around the butterfly garden to watch out for them. Then the caterpillar climbs up a wall to hang while in pupa stage.
3. The pupa hanging from a trellis.
4. The adult emerged and drying its wings. See the empty 'white' pupa below the butterfly.
