Ahhh, the Monarch caterpillar has formed its chrysalis! I got to watch it happen. Pretty cool. It reminds me of birth. The contractions start and then the chrysalis forms. Very cool. Here are a few shots I was able to capture.

Caterpillar just starting to wiggle to go into the chrysalis. Note the green just starting to form near the head of the caterpillar.

After just a few seconds you can see the chrysalis emerging.

Nearly finished with chrysalis formation. In this case, the dark skin didn’t fall off. The whole process only takes a few minutes once it starts.

Absolutely a miracle! There’s some pretty wondrous stuff out there in the ‘Bug World.’
