Very nice captures showing in the chrysalis as well as the newly eclosed butterflies. Today I had my first newborn for this spring season. It is an amazing process.

These shots are really nice. Thanks for posting them as I have been thinking about doing something like this myself but my Monarch came out and didn't make it. I may try again, but at least now I have the enjoyment of viewing your excellent captures. Well done.

I had more caterpillars this year than ever before. And I keep planting zinnias, lantana and other nectar plants to attract them to my yard. Gives me something to practice my photography on. Thanks for your compliments!
