If you follow my blog,
you know that I have recently been releasing butterflies from last years group of caterpillars.
At the end of last season,
10 or so of the chrysalis I had caged did not release to butterflies.
They "overwintered" in the cage, in the garage, in chrysalis form,
and a week or so ago, they began emerging.
Yesterday,
2 more of them emerged and were released back to nature.
These two are the 6th and 7th.
One flew off quickly, the other stayed around for a little while, and I was thrilled with that!

They are beautiful creatures, fragile yet tough too, and we are all grateful that you gave them a good start in life. Raising butterflies at home is a simple way for people to start to connect with nature and I encourage everyone to give it a try.
How amazing! I know you love doing this and you bring more beauty to the world! That's a very good thing! I hiked this morning and took a few butterfly pics...not the easiest photos to take!
What a fabulous thing to do and watch and then release to nature again Debbie. Have a wonderful weekend.
