I brought home the chrysalis I found in the park on Aug. 18 for safe keeping, and this morning at 9:40 AM a beautiful female monarch emerged! We released her back in the park in the afternoon after the rains and storms had passed. She was very perky and flew off with a lot of energy. The photo was taken about 1 hour after emergence, while her wings were still hardening.
