Hatch of a Monarch Butterly - it only takes 15 seconds - Wow!

So we found some monarch caterpillars, took them into our makeshift aquarium and watched it change into its chrysalis. It went from light green, to dark purple then to a clear package in which you could see its wings.
My first time in doing this and so fascinating watching all the stages it goes through! In only 15 seconds ( we had two males) he emerged, dried and plumped up his wings. Twenty four hours and we set him free into the world !
Lucky to have witnessed , and to be able to photograph too!

Thank you Pixel- can't wait for next year! Their is a site where you tag and release to observe their migration; just unsure as you have to place (what looks like a sticker) on their wings? Would be fun to see if our little ones made the migration though :)
